    What vehicle do you wish you could get your hands on - but can't since they didn't sell it where you are?

    I'll start with this one - the Nissan X-Trail. A really good-looking small SUV, about the size of a Ford Escape (maybe one notch smaller...)
    But noooooo - Nissan insisted on selling us in the US the lame Xterra....
    I believe you Canadian guys could get one though......

    I would order the Schwimmstationwagonwagen variant of course.;):D

    That red SUV is so much taller than wide it looks like even a baby wolf could huff and puff and blow it over, the thing looks like it's ready to fall over on it's side sitting still , do they have kickstands?:rofl2:

    Yes,us Canucks could get the X-Trail.
    Basically a mix of Sentra/Altima parts put on steriods,added all wheel drive to fight against the Honda CRV.
    The X-trail followed the original CRV formula of small compact CUV with 4 cylinder motorvation .
    It did sell moderately well since the CRV has bulked up to almost full size porportions with a V6.
    The problem was it had an identity crisis.The front looked like a Sentra,the side view looked like a Land Rover,and the rear-with its high mounted taillights-looked looked like a Volvo 850 wagon.

    The civilian version was often marketed toward rich Saudi sheiks because of its incomparable performance in the desert due to the Scorpion tires, an over-sized radiator, and a large air cleaner which sat on top of 6 Weber carburetors. For those requiring even more power, the L804 7.2 litre marine V12, more commonly found in Class 1 offshore powerboats, could be specified.
