Here is another post from the same guy, looks like it is driven hard at the factory:
“so here is the deal. yes the car is driven hard at the factory for 9 test laps and the engine is dynoed at high RPM to the point where is is "broken in". with that said the suspension is not settled( that is what you are asked to drive in comfort mode for more suspension stroke) and its not just engine the transmission isnt totally broken in. in the real world can you drive it off the lot as hard as you want with no repercussions? most likely. but there is a suggested break in listed by Nissan and is backed up by the engineers ive spoken with. after the first 300 miles the break in isnt even that intrusive at all. you bought a 120-130K car I would do it. and yes there is a check up required at 1K miles”
Does that clarify everything for you?

It wasn't pretty to look at, even back in the day. Lol
But, it was a real truck, none of that unibody stuff on this one.
Daaaam. Lol
Hey, don't forget we aren't spring chickens anymore either.

Speaking of fuel economy.
@AJT123
And look what they offer now
Saw the new one this evening. I think it is a great design. Looks great. Would be even greater if it has full time 4W. But I not sure if it does.
I like my Hankook tires. You happy with yours?

Again…yeah it’s my opinion. Everything I say is my opinion.
These are collectible though and going up in value…this is the first real luxury SUV which is a pretty cool thing.
Not sure what crapping on a picture of a cool vehicle presented to the group brings to the discussion.
