No, seriously. You’re not going to want to hear what has happened to the brand name and all it stood for. Where once the seven-seat Pathfinder stood for tough outback adventure and a life of extreme, now it stands for school runs and the shopping centre car park. Yep, the Pathie is now no better than a gumboot-wearing city slicker. Potentially, it is a smart move for Nissan. City-friendly SUVs is where all the sales action is, not growly off-roaders, and rather than lose the Pathfinder name and all its currency, why not stick it on something that is not a true replacement for its predecessor? While the diehards will call for the death of the usurper, a new generation of Pathfinder buyers won’t give a fig for tow ratings, low-range ratios and stump-pulling diesel growl. But it won’t all be an easy road for Pathfinder. Oh no. Click here for the full review...
