Kickin' Tires: The Infamous Nissan Patrol

Okay, so maybe it's not terribly well-known here in the states. I'll admit I hadn't heard of it before. But apparently the Patrol is one of the world's best 4x4 SUV's, competing in other markets against the Toyota Landcruiser for supremecy.

The Nissan Patrol is finally heading to the biggest SUV market in the world...as one of the biggest SUV's out there. It dwarfs anything in it's class, and with 400 horsepower and 413 lb/ft of torque, it outpowers (and should outperform) them all too. Only, the Patrol isn't coming here as a Nissan. It will be an Infiniti, more accurately, the QX56.
Unlike Nissan and Infiniti's current SUV/truck lineup, the QX56 has it's very own chassis, and it's manufactured in Japan, on the same line as the world famous Patrol. Prepare to see these gas-guzzling giants patrolling a street near you sometime this summer.
