Because you won't be able to next year.

You know, Jeep has no faith in this country.

Many of you have heard of the Jeep Grand Cherokee, I'm sure. It's shorter than the Saturn Vue (and slower!!!) and it's also the 17th-best-selling vehicle in your United States. But anyway.

In 2002, the Jeep Cherokee was redesigned. They called the new model the Jeep Liberty in North America, while worldwide it's still sold as the Jeep Cherokee. So why did they re-name it just for the US? Because they think you're all too stupid to understand the difference between "Cherokee" and "Grand Cherokee." But the British? Nope - they understand perfectly. They still get "Cherokee" and "Grand Cherokee." Only the Americans are too stupid.

You think I'm kidding? I'm serious.

Anyway, same vein, (I swear this thread has a purpose!) Nissan's dropping "Pathfinder" from the name of the Nissan Pathfinder Armada in 2005, so it's just going to be Nissan Armada. This time it's not because you're all too stupid, but because Nissan is.

Point is, the Nissan Pathfinder Armada is going to be rare, considering it had just one model year. So buy buy buy! Don't wait until next year! You'll be unique if you buy now! Woo!

Right.

So... what do you all think of the new Mitsubishi Galant?

No. It's ugly. That stupid back door makes it look like an old Volvo 240 wagon...except the Volvo at least was made that way so it shared the same door as a sedan.

I do note that Nissan has made a massive step back towards the right direction and are quietly dropping the horrible Bugs Bunny grille from some of the cars. Maybe they got sued by Warner Brothers for trademark infringement.

I think is is not just ugly, but FUGLY, with a large red, capital 'F'. It could be the best automotive value on the face of the planet and I wouldn't buy one unless they discounted it at least another 50% beyond that.

I could be mistaken, but it appears that they are reverting to the non-bucktooth design at my local dealer. Unless they're ordering the parts from the counter and swapping them out themselves.

I think they wanted to establish the relationship between it and the Pathfinder – like a big brother of the Pathfinder, I guess.

I haven't seen anybody driving a new Galant, which is just fine with me.
 
Hmm... don't see a bugs bunny or buck tooth but I was wonder what the hell they were thinking when they did the mouth on that car. :odd:
 
1) Jeep couldn't change the Cherokee to Liberty elsewhere in the world because the Subaru Legacy is known as the Liberty in Europe and Australia I believe.

2) Nissan already has taken the Pathfinder name out of all the advertising. The only place you'll see the Pathfinder badge is on the back of the first model year vehicles.

3) Mitsubishi Galants SUCK. Our Mitsu dealer has so many of them sitting in back that don't move, it's not even funny. Even the paint is crap, it's incredibly dull.

So in that sense, Canadians are morons, since it's also called the Liberty up here. And quite frankly, I think the IQ of the average Canadian would be surprisingly low, but I won't get into that, I could go on for hours.

And even I think the Galant sucks... I'd rather get a Ford Taurus than that pug-fugly hunk of junk...

I like it but I don't love it. Standard power sunroof and airbags out the ass put it high on my list of four-cylinder cars I like, though that seems to be a short list.

As far as I know we're still going strong with the bucktooth design.

The Subaru Legacy is known as Liberty in Australia because there's an Australian World War II Veterans' charity known as Legacy and considering the less than stellar image of the Japanese to the Australians during World War II, naming the Liberty Legacy wouldn't have been a good move for Subaru. Didn't you ever wonder why they changed it?

The second-largest market for the Jeep Liberty is Europe where the Legacy is known as the Legacy and the Liberty is known as the Cherokee - because, according to Jeep, Americans are all dumb.

Um. Did you know that there's a new Mitsubishi Galant out that has the largest engine in the midsize class and does 0-60 faster than the Mazda 6s? It handles about as well as an X-Type too. It's really the furthest thing from dull. Granted, the old model was another story.

Well, Americans can't stand alone!

And does ANYONE except neon_duke and Sage know about the new Mitsubishi Galant? Jesus hell.

You all should know about it, it does 0-60 quicker than whatever you drive.
 
The galant's are pretty nice cars for there class, all the Mitisubushi's are priced well in there catagories. 👍

The new Titan and the Armada are some big trucks.
 
The Pathfinder Armada is huge, I was standing beside one at the nissan dealership and i felt like a midget, they also have a really nice exhaust note. And I just found out they do 60 in just 7.0 seconds!
 
my parents got one of these about 2-3 months ago. the engine is loud. its nice. its in a color called "Smoke" aka Dark Grey. i wouldnt say luxourious but just good enough for me. we go it pretty cheap instead of 40 grand we got for 33 instead. i think its ok. its not best looking but its not horribly ugly. still does the job for us. it was a better improvement than our '97 Dodge Grand Caravan. and that was the last car we bought. we got a DvD player in the Armada. i can play Ps2 when we are going out of town. but i dont play much or watch tv a lot. i dont want the battey to die on us in the middle of no where. and get blamed for it. if u were going to buy this SUV try looking at the Sequioa also and maybe a Nissan Murano. the tail lights on the Murano kinda look like the 350z's lights. any one see a similarity? well thats a report from a daily Armada passenger.

The Galant is a new car from a dying company.

Who cares if it's marginally faster than the 6, the 6 outsells it and has more options and better styling.

The Armada is huge. On occasion a Nissan guy will come across the road to run one through the car wash or get some gas and if you're in the way you almost get scared that you'll be dead if you don't get out of the way.
The Infiniti version of the Armada is the ugly thing. It looks dumb. Just dumb.
 
I've got a good one for the stupidity of the Aussie market - we're the only market in the world where Volkswagen find it necessary to put name badges (Golf, Passat etc) on the cars.

Lucky for those particularly stupid buyers who ordered a Touareg, and the dealer gave them a Polo, hoping they wouldn't notice.

No, I didn't know there were new Mitsubishis out, I only work at a car dealership that has a Mitsubishi division... :dunce:

OK, so you can read specs on an engine. How many have you sat in? Have many have you sat in that didn't have broken bits and knobs and cheesy plastic? How many have you had a good look at the paint job on? How many have you driven to feel the crappy automatic transmission crap out on you? These are all brand new cars still sitting on the lot, by the way. They're crappy, and no one is buying them, regardless of how fast of a ****ty V6 they have sitting in them.

Excellently put! If Lou Fusz didn't have the Super 700 Sale(a sale of used cars once every month, at my dealership and at the Chevy dealership a distance from here(like 20 miles or more), we have to move all of our inventory to a bowling alley about a mile from the dealership), "lot-rot" would bite us hard on the Oldsmobiles and B-series trucks.

If the Galant was such a great car, why wouldn't it sell? Crappy cars have generally crappy sales records.
 
The new Galant is one of the uglier new cars (though it seems most are).The interior is full of cheap plastic, the taillights look like a Prius's, the front end is just... ugly, no other word to describe it.

I can't agree more. Even if the car's faster, I'd start feeling a little depressed if I had to see such an ugly in my garage everyday.

As for the Aramada, I'm far from a fan of trucks. 0-60 in 7.0 secs, who cares, if you're looking for perfomance, a truck isn't where you should be looking. Any car in this price range can easily beat that time. Trucks are made for hauling, not for drag racing.

Don't know too much about the Scion

It's more than that. First and foremost the XJ Cherokee was the first Jeep model to sell in Europe and Australia with even a semblance of popularity. It would be like Honda renaming the Accord. They're not going to **** with a well known name.

Over here on the other hand DaimlerChrysler has the luxury of naming it something else, since the Jeep name has far more recognition than 'Cherokee'. On top of that, many if not most Jeep aficionados feel the Libby just doesn't live up to its predecessor. Naming it "Cherokee" would have been an even larger slap in the face to the outgoing XJ, on top of the fact it is the Cherokee's replacement.

Jeep is also going for a larger part of the 'cute-ute' pie. Let's face it, the Cherokee was never seen as being 'cute'. For the most part it was known for being small, cramped on the inside, relatively fast (Saturn VUEs with Honda engines aside), relatively reliable, inexpensive to buy, horrible on gas, and a monster offroad. The majority of SUV buyers (the rich, yuppies, rich yuppies and women) would rather have a minivan with a higher ground clearance than an actual all-terrain vehicle. Naming the KJ Liberty inherently shied away from the image of the Cherokee.

I see new Mitsubishi Magna's that look just like that Galant being tested here in South Australia quite often. I see them mainly in the hills with big front and rear car bra's on.
 
I want a normal Pathfinder, not a Armada. :grumpy:
 
The new Pathfinder is even uglier then the Armada:

Do I get to be cool and rare because I bought a Java Black Pearl WRX? After all, 2004 was the only year for that color.

Well, you took my mind off the Galant for a few seconds, so yes, you are cool because you drive a good car.

And the Infiniti version of the Armada is exactly that, a rebadged Armada with a somewhat better interior and an excuse to jack up the price by a few thousand dollars. Most useless vehicle ever. If you want a huge SUV, just buy the Nissan Armada for less cash...

And as for Scions, I just plain hate Scions (except for the tC, that car is ok).
 
Ugh, that new Pathfinder is horrible looking compared to the current awsome Pathfinder.
Look at the back of that thing, it has hints of Tribute, lol.
 
I'd really love to know who at Nissan keeps wanting to screw with the door handles. It appears the old Pathfinder started it, but WHY do the second row of doors have the handle way op by the window on the rear of the door, while the front doors have them in a normal location?

It just looks retarded...

And now the Armada, Pathfinder, Xtrerra, and QX56 have them. I think even the new Frontier crew cab might have them.
