Nissan Xterra Won't Go Soft (-Road)
Good writers go to heaven, but TTAC writers go everywhere. Justin Berkowitz went to Car & Driver, where he found out some news that will no doubt be welcomed by xtreme outdoor athletes everywhere.
The new Pathfinder may have become a unibody vehicle (in fairness, for the second time in just four generations) but the Xterra will, apparently, continue to be a body-on-frame "traditional" SUV. Nissan has the luxury of owning two relatively well-regarded nameplates in this segment, so splitting them (back) up makes perfect sense. The Xterra will continue to be the choice of people who either do outdoorsy stuff or believe they one day will get around to doing such stuff.
As for the Pathfinder? Will it succeed? Readers with long memories and/or a taste for Special Advertising Sections may recall that after Ford made a similar decision to base it on a unibody platform, the American Monthly Journal Of Free Cadillacs panned the redesigned Explorer using the strongest language we've seen from them in quite some time. The market responded by literally storming Ford dealers and burning Explorers to the ground. Oops. That's not quite true. Although the market did storm Ford dealers, it was mostly to buy Explorers, resulting in year-over-year sales numbers that increased by as much as 138%. Senior Token European Angus MacKenzie was reportedly so upset he temporarily abandoned the posh accent he uses to talk to Americans and reverted to sounding exactly like "Groundskeeper Willie" for the afternoon. Don't bet on Xterra sales exceeding those of the new Pathy, mmmmmkay?
