Took delivery of my Pathfinder LE during the lunch hour today. I know it's no 2007 G sedan or coupe for that matter, but I'm really loving all of the space. The 4.0L V6 is a thirsty one but I'm really liking the torque and hp. Not the greatest SUV, I'll admit, but it'll do us good for the winters and for the trips to the mountains. Oh, and it should accomodate our baby-to-be (this April!) quite nicely. No minivan...yet.

After this post I am going to attempt to refrain from posting for 16 hours, or until I get home with my 07G! My defense is temporary insanity, on the grounds of going stir crazy waiting for delivery.

I'm sure you'll love the Pathfinder. I like switching up on vehicles as it makes one appreciate each vehicle on its unique merits. I've driven my dads '06 Frontier 4.0l 4x4 many times and you're right it's got nice torque. He averages about 21 mpg combined and 26-27 mpg hwy.

Good luck preparing for the family addition this spring Sure you don't want my minivan?
