Sorry, but the fact that you own smiley faced Mazda 3 completely invalidates your opinion.

This new Patrol looks great.

And your attitude invalidates yours.

Wow, this is fun.

Touareg > Patrol by a landslide.

This thing is simply ugly and useless if you don't live in Dubai or Death Valley.
The good interior doesn't help at all.

Pix usually dont do justice with new Nissan designs. When Maxima came out. pretty similar comments coming out. Now it is outstanding success. I bet this thing looks better than all its competition in its class.

Motor Trend First Drive - 2010 Nissan Patrol

http://www.motortrend.com/road....html

The wrap-up comes with a dash along a sandy beach track, the chassis soaking up all the hits and shocks, the absence of suspension, tire, or gravel-splash noise still quite extraordinary. All this in a plush leather, wood, and chrome interior, riding on man-size seats, stretching legs out salubriously, and viewing the world from on high.

So sorry, Australia and bad luck, Russia. Click your jaws back in and suck it up like men. Your pain is the USA's gain. The new Patrol isn't what you might have expected or wanted, but America's going to like it as the new QX56.

...and I thought the cube looked odd.

Very impressive, it sounds like they liked everything about the new Patrol. From what I understand, the old Patrol will still continue to get built for those who want a more hard core off-road vehicle. But, this rig probably won't be a slouch off-road either.

It's okay I guess. I'm not feeling the side vents whatsoever.

So the QX is like a smashed up version of both the GX and LX, but better looking. Nice.

It looks better than what i expected. Rim size is larger than Nissan and sides are wider. argubly the best looking and imposing large SUV when u compared to pedastrian LX, GL, RR.

Yeah, they were funny as hell

some of my favorites:

Good heavens. I don't know what's uglier, this or a rhino. They're surely related, though, and willprobably give you the same scare when you see them on your rearview mirror.
"...the 2011 Infiniti QX56 manages to retain an awkward-looking 'forehead'..." That's not a forehead, it's a fivehead.

I kinda like it. Better than the current gen anyway and better than the new LX470...

I'm also a Infiniti fanboy as of late, so -

infiniti exteriors have been losing their continuity over the past 18 months. this is the icing on the cake. hopefully the reviews of the QX will give infiniti a reality check and send them back to the drawing board.

another hodge podge of design elements:

Because opinions are subjective statements?

Speaking of....I would take this Nissan Patrol/Infiniti QX over any of Toyota/Lexus' full size (GX/LX) offerings
