Armada out, Patrol in?
Could happen. The body-on-frame Nissan Patrol has always been Nissan's answer to the Toyota Land Cruiser; and with this latest revamp--and a HUGE one at that--there is some speculation that this vehicle could replace the soon-to-be-departed Armada and/or Infiniti QX56.
The new Patrol is expected to be powered, at least overseas, by a 4.8L V8, 4.0L V6 and a 3.0L V6 diesel. Gotta wonder if it shares some underpinnings with the upcoming Nissan NV2500 commercial trucks?

Uh, it looks like Nissan borrowed the exterior styling from Toyota's current Highlander to me.
What's the story on that V-8? Is it a smaller Endurance?
Looks nice. Sure looks better than the Pathfinder or the Highlander or the Land Cruiser.
It's got the same roof and pillar styling as the GT-R...
The current Nissan Patrol has the TB48DE V6 engine, 241 hp, 295 lb-ft.
Maybe the "V8" is an incorrect rumor, and it's the current 4.8-liter V6...

nevermind this Nissan website says the 4.8-liter V6 makes 280hp, 332 lb-ft.

Wikipedia says the TB48DE can go up to 675 hp... but I would assume that's by some crazy aftermarket guy, not factory.
Yes, but its a better looking Highlander.
