How does Motor Trend get a hold of the vehicles? I know Four Wheeler sends out invitations to have new vehicles in their SUV of the Year competition. If that is the case with Motor Trend then it is Nissan who is at fault.

Since the next new Xterra will be a 2005, it will most likely NOT be in the next MT SUV of the year competition since the Xterra won't be new in 2006.

All I really care is that my Xterra gets me where I want it to go. It does that with or without the MT 2000 SUV of the Year award sticker on it.
