I don't like this concept of releasing the preview before you view at the auto show. Don't get it.

I think it's wise because it generates pre-attention. In the case of these Nissans, they're really just tweaks that would likely be overshadowed by other all-new vehicles (like the Toyotas) in the news coverage of the show. If Nissan announces them first, they get 2 chances at coverage and a better shot at more attention.

For all-new vehicles, I think it's best to wait till the show.

I think it's a good thing the Path has finally a V8 considering it's a full frame SUV. With it's slightly improved interior, it makes it a more credible alternative to the Big3 V8. :thumbup:

More credible based on what?  The Titan is the least reliable truck on the market, according to Consumer Reports.  I'd trust a Nissan V6 but I'd be nervous about their V8s.

The Titan's problems as far as i know has not been with the V8, from what I recall it was brakes and body squeaks and that was early on and since remedied.  The Armada on the other hand seems to have more issues, again a lot of that is fixed but the bad wrap remains.
