My girlfriend has the Nissan Altima 3.5 and it has the sports car dials and guages. By that I mean it has the cylindrical tubes that lead down to say the speedometer etc. These "tubes" separate the speedo and tach. I dont know the technical terms for this design.
Im not sure about everyone else, but I like the way the dials and guages look now. Open and nothing "blocking the view".
From the last picture in the brochure of the interior, it kind of looks like it has the cylindrical tubular dials and guages. I think I can kind of see the outlines from the relection of light. I hope its my imagination and its not really there.

I'm with you, I like the wide open look of a single panel.

Very similiar to BMW lines as well, a little too similiar. Anyone else agree? Granted I think it looks great in this shape, but wish they would have been a little more orginal.

My biggest worry is the Harrier C-pillar in the brochure.
It looks really awkward or clunky because it's so wide.
It reminds me of the Buick Rendezvous or something.
See my picture below.
The A backend is from the Harrier brochure.
I'm hoping the RX330 C-pillar will look closer to the
B backend. (And obviously no arrow pinstriping. WTF?)
The B backend does resemble the X5 backend,
but proportionally it looks better than the A backend.

I likey..
It looks like the shift is going to be not on an angle as much and the shifter is like the GS and the new Es.. not too crazy about the back but from the side it looks sweet..
When is this supposed to coming out over here? My RX goes back a year from now

WOW that newspaper ad pic is NICE...
i'm feeling the new Rx330... i kinda want one now...
i think it looks nice... from the side, it still the GOOD Ole Rx3, but the back is different... makes it more rounded... i think the back could even be better then the rear of ours now.
the front is nice as always
wonder if i should trade mine in for this baby
BTW, those rims are NICE!
i want the 18"
