why the hell wouldn't you enjoy something that looks good... how would you like driving in a subaru baja?

anybody noticed the changes in the grill of the 05 X, I think it looks much better now.

Dark grey grill! and dark grey skid!

You mean like these that were posted back in June?

Click for 2005 X pics

Amazing what searching “2005 pics” will come up with

we were refering to a previous post. the guy said he was going to get a chance to see the new x in person at a state fair. we wanted to see if anything changed since nissan have said that many parts of the x that were being shown are preproduction parts.

Maybe he was lying (the guy of the state fair).

Or he forgot his camera or something.

yea proabably, got us all excited for nothing.

anyone know if the 05 will be displayed anywhere near los angeles anytime soon? i'd really like to check it out in person.

^I second that

The New Pathfinder is now in production, look at www.nissanUSA.com it looks nice, but I'll wait for the X!

RC8

I will definitely go for the Pathfinder SE Offroad if it comes with a Manual Transmission. Too bad!

So buy an Xterra instead - better offroad and it has a 6-spd manual. It's cheaper and looks better, too.

You're definitely correct, pnwbeers. X definitely looks better. However, I've been driving a Pathfinder so long, and I also enjoy a little bit of the froo-froo stuffs like a power sunroof & leather. Plus a 7-seater would be ideal for me.

Pussy

X is better than the pathy. Period.

05 pathfinder looks like crap. the interior is quite neat though.

get the LE for $35,550 and take it off-roading. dont worry about the leather interior.

How do you guys think the '05 Xterra's gas mileage will compare to the '05 Pathfinders?

I think the 4x2 Pathfinder is 16/23....

I think the engine is pretty much the same, but the size/weight of X might be giving it a little better gas mileage.

16/23 for the 4x2 05 Pathy, vs. 15/21 for the 4x4.
04 Pathfinder w/ the 240 hp 3.5L version of the same (VQ) engine was rated at 16/21 (4x2) and 15/19 (4x4) vs. the 180 hp VG-engined 04 Xterra's 17/20 and 16/20 (automatic).
Interesting that with the curb weights for comparble 04 model Pathfinder and SE-trim Xterra are within a passengers-worth of each other, yet with a far less powerful, older engine design without the variable intake and timing of the VQ, the Xterra was still within 1 MPG of the Pathfinder.

jus curious to kno if anyone has actually placed an order for the 05 X?

Not possible...

Some employees of nissan already have new pathys and Xterras. They're "test driving" them. somebody knows one of these guys?

Ok everyone. Here are a few pics from the 05 at the Texas State Fair.
