I'm going to make the assumption that this particular model shown is the off-road. It does not have any SE badging and it is a manual. I don't "think" Nissan will start offering a manual in the SE again, but who knows. I did notice the electronic 4wd, let's hope that maybe, just maybe, manual is still available and that you have to get the electronic as an option. I did notice the four empty buttons across from the 4wd, hopefully that will include some off-road goodies like a locker. (Really want to avoid the out of pocket expense personally.) I also like the improved dash layout. My 03 is hard to read at certain times of the day because of the plastic cover (seems like a common complaint that Nissan fixed.) As for the styling, for the most part it is great, there are some minor things, but I guess we should all look at the bright side, at least they did not soccer mom it out all the way!
