Ha, I see the family resemblance.

It looks like a damn minivan. Not liking this. Maybe for the family types, just not my bag.:eek.:

I wonder if there will be any quality issues now that it will be produced in TN versus Japan?

Aaron mentioned the QX prior to 2008 were made in US and had a ridiculous amount of issues.

Thoughts?

well I had a 2008 QX56... each year they did get better and better with the quality of the QX56 from the original 2004MY version...

US built + CVT + FWD platform = High-End Soccer Mom Van

CVT = smoother drive with kids in the car. I have a 2 year old nephew and it made me realize the FX is a little too stiff for newborns in the crossover, especially how bumpy the NYC roads are. I understand the smoothness of the new CVT tranny, which has been revised compared w/ the one currently in the Maximas and Murano

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks.

Motor Trend had an editorial from someone at large that said the front end of the JX looks like the Pig from Angry Birds. He wasn't wrong.

It's definitely a better shape than the new Lexus front designs

When did Nissan start using the new CVTs in the Rogues, Muranos, etc?
