It has more than flare, it looks like a bling fest.

It's the Japanese ugly bling Escalade. The interior is just like the Patrol with badge swaps and the volvo weird wood wheel. INterior looks great though.
The exterior is awful. In the spy pics I thought it would turn out fine but they tried to blend curves with a box. The fender vents are pep boys ghetto tacky.
It also weighs over 6000 lbs. Ridiculous.
Outside the G37 coupe the styling is awful to me. 3 SUVs and 2 cars what a lineup.
There will go great with it

Absolute fail. The hard-edge, straight-angled A-pilars throw off the entire design. They belong on the boxy SUV's like the Kia Soul, Scion xB, and outdated 1996 Chevy S-10 Blazer. The rest of the body is curved and swoopy and doesn't match this retro feature one bit. If they rounded out these pilars, it would have greatly helped.

fire the designers. Why did they keep the whale face from the previous generation? just for heritage?
of course, you can always get it in black, and black everything out so you can't see it.
shrink the grille and raise the lights, makes it look more presentable.

A number of important things.
1. The thing weighs 6000lbs so it is built like a tank.
2. Its good to see Nissan put an Independent Rear Suspension on this thing. Lets hope Lexus does the right thing next, I mean even KIA has an IRS on a body on frame vehicle
3. Interior is OUTSTANDING..doesn't look cost cut like the mild cost cutting in the LX
4. A better presence than the LX570 (LX570 is really good though)
5. 400+ hp.
Way to go Nissan....a job well done.

they tired too hard to make it sporty (like FX/EX)... but that doesn't fare well for the size of the car. they should just keep it a truck design, it's working for Caddy's and Range Rovers...

Let us all remember ANYTHING was better than the last QX, which was a horrific GM style quality rebadge vehicle. Moving it to the Patrol was a great move for it. The QX has now been Pathfinder, Titan/Armanda and now Patrol based. 
Yes they are.
1 Quit while you are ahead. How does weight= built like a tank? Amazing that you find 6,000 lbs acceptable. That is ridiculous.
2. The LX/Land Cruiser are THE go to off-road vehicles worldwide. There is a reason it doesn't have IRS. Try again.
3. Interior is fantastic and unlike Lexus a complete rebadge. They didn't even try to make it different. Your cost cutting jab is ridiculous, the LX interior is fantastic.
4. Have you seen it in person?
5. Very good hp rating.
Not even sure why the LX is being brought up. The LX starts at 75k and hits 85k loaded and is a much more limited production vehicle.
I doubt the MSRP for this is close to the LX .
Outstanding job to Nissan on designing a well thought out Patrol/QX. Nissan has done the correct thing by canceling the USA designed and built QX model in favor for better design. I am glad Nissan is bring a Patrol based vehicle to North America.
