For those of you complaining that the new design verges on mediocrity-

Think of it this way: Nissan COULD have gone the other direction with it. They could have tried to create the all-in-one outdoorsy vehicle that monstrocity called Aztec was supposed to be. Instead, they have given you an updated design that follows the rest of the current Nissan line, without losing the X's original heritage. Not only that, but they have improved the platform in just about every aspect of performance. There will always be people who like/dislike any body design, not matter how hard a manufacturer tries. But by improving the platform across the board, Nissan has set itself up for a big success. (As long as the price stays low)
