I think the Armada is a pretty nice SUV..... has a V8 great for towing seating for seven or eight.... Lots of leg room and at somewhat of an offordable price. I like the styling but some say its a little weird. The inside is plasticy but... The my verdict is its a nice vehicle to transfer people in. Good luck!
My brother, like you, wants a roomier SUV that accommodates more people. I went with him the other day to look at the Armada. He likes its appearance. After scoping it out, both of us went away UN-impressed. It was the cheapness of the visible parts primarily. The front fake chrome door handles are lightweight plastic, the door-mounted mirrors were cheesy, and the interior was full of flimsy plastic. So much so that it makes the ML look like a Maybach in comparison. If there’s that much exposed cheapness, it makes one wonder where Nissan skimped on the stuff you don’t see.

I just don't like the thing - it's way too big. As for the skimping, I have owned 4 Nissans, including the venerable 1990 Pathfinder SE-V6. Trust me, there's no skimping anything when it comes to build quality with these Nissans. I never had a problem with my Pathfinder and my 89Z Turbo is still running very strong at 170K hard miles!!! Frankly, I believe they'll outlast my ML.

and that C-Pillar design makes the truck look like it's buckling in the rear-mid section. The inside is cheap looking but that seems to be the norm these days for large SUVs. I won't buy one. Nissan is coming out with a larger Pathfinder with three row seating. It doesn't take to the Titan look (looks much better) and it's supposd to be just a bit larger than the current ML. That'll be the one to get.

Hey Dewdaltz! Which nissan is that?? It looks sweet. Is that the new Pathfinder??If it will seat seven and still have room in the back for stuff it would be a better looking option.[:)]

I think that`s the Nissan Armada with special options (dont know the option name).
Yea, the greenies will really enjoy seeing that "BIG" thing roll down the highway. The picture that dewaltz posted looks impressive, it doesn't look like the other vehicle at all.
