    Nissan's 2013 Pathfinder Concept Teased

    As we've seen in prior months, GM, Ford, and Chrysler all love to tease us with shadowy, vague photos of their upcoming wares. Now, Nissan is joining in on the fun by releasing a teaser of their upcoming Pathfinder concept, set to debut at the Detroit Auto Show next month.

    From what the teaser images show, the Pathfinder's sheetmetal moves from the rugged, boxy formula of the current model to a more flowing, aerodynamic design. There have been rumors that Nissan could be moving the upcoming Pathfinder to a unibody architecture (like Ford did with the Explorer), and there's no doubt the new styling along with Nissan's claims of a new platform for this new model will only serve to further fuel those claims.

    Nissan says the new Pathfinder will find it's way to dealers in fall 2012.

    Below is Nissan's relatively short press release:

    The Nissan Pathfinder Concept, which is set for its world debut at the 2012 North American International Auto Show beginning on January 9th, takes all of Pathfinder's traditional SUV hallmarks and wraps them in a new platform and dramatic new aerodynamic body. With thoughtful technology, comfortable seating for seven and ample cargo room, the 4-wheel drive Pathfinder Concept previews the next-gen production Pathfinder that is scheduled to go on sale next fall.

    It just hit me -- this will probably be the everyman's version of the Infiniti JX, which is based on a stretched Murano floorpan.

    So, I'm expecting the new Pathfinder to be front or all-wheel drive and to seat seven at least.

    tldr; the new Pathfinder is a front-wheel drive, seven-seat version of the Murano.

    • If I've deleted some from the list, it's because they're not in my price point. No thank you to expensive German iron.  I don't like spending a lot of money on cars. Some comments: I've rented the K4 and they work just fine, but it has a lot of nasty angles, especially the long tear drop tail lights and even the side of the greenhouse I do like the Toyota Camry ... at last they got it right The Honda Civic used to be an ugly duckling and now it's actually a decent looking car with a good amount of room.  I had a rented Honda Accord in South Florida, which I reviewed here and, better yet, it was a hybrid. These Hyundais are not very attractive and the jellybean one (Sonata) looks cheap when you get up close to it. I like the Nissan Sentra. I can't believe I'm saying that. The Cadillac is the only one on this list that is a GM car ... and which I like.  If not optioned up, the price point isn't that bad. The Charger is electric, so no.  But hybrid is fine. But where this leaves me is that there isn't much choice at all for those wanting to redeem what they've accumulated on their GM Card.  It wasn't like throwing money to the wind because you still make use of the credit card, but I would have not continued having a car card if I knew the market would be changing like this.  I would have fared better with another airline card.
    • Yeah, and if you’re a dumb dumb, like I expect that user was they left the key fob inside the car
    • Interesting, programmable door handles, if you unlock the auto, they will stay out, but if you approach it while locked with the fob, they will pop out and if within 3 min you do not open a door, pull back in keeping the auto locked.  
    • OUCH Apple is paring the tech options. Apple quietly kills 15 devices - is yours on the list?
    • I think that was “user error” of the person who was driving that particular vehicle.
