Duck Fuke!

So my first thought is:
I am surprised to see the VQ engine be enlarged all the way to 4 liters. This is one large V6 now.
The second thought is:
I wonder if that means that this engine will be used for Nissan and Infiniti cars...like the Z and the G. If I had to guess, I would say no. Too large for a V6. Plus I just cant see a 400 Z or a G40...I dont know.

Happy CL-S Pilot
Of couse, the new pathfinder is the small brother of the other big bad asss Pathfinder Armada. Armada is too BIG and too BAD ass for some. I think it would be hit like the current Pathfinder.
Now 4.0L VQ V6 will get you more than 300HP easily. Now the Endurance V8 is 305HP/385lbft could be easily go like 100 HP more. Imagine the current Endurance does not even have Nissan CVTC (like i-VTEC) nor a variable length intake!!
Nissan is doing the right thing... Good evening Honda!...
