Nissan blew it with me

Inspector71

I had a 2006 Nissan Pathfinder and sold it for the Z in 2009. As I move closer to retirement and, considering I love hiking and being outdoors especially in the winter, the colder the better, I was reconsidering my choice and giving thought to buying a Pathfinder again. And then "Chickification" reared its ugly head and, like the Ford Explorer, killed another SUV. It now looks like a cross over leaning toward a soccer mom mini-van. They took it off its truck platform, yes, I read why, and chickified it up to appeal to female buyers. Yuck. Another one bites the dust victim of chickification. I wanted a an SUV not a mini-van. I may have to go with the Toyota 4-Runner but I still have a couple of years and by then the Chickification brigade may have pulled it down as well. Nissan, you blew it. For those who see it differently, go buy one.
