The car companies have teased us a lot this week. Sketches. Badly cropped detail shots. Car covers. When will this bullying stop?
Now Nissan has jumped on the band wagon with this teaser shot of its next Pathfinder.
This is as much as Nissan is prepared to show us until the SUV's unveiling at the Detroit Motor Show early next month but the silhouette does at least show us that the aging Pathfinder will have a more carlike design.
Nissan elaborates: “The Nissan Pathfinder Concept takes all of Pathfinder's traditional SUV hallmarks and wraps them in a new platform and dramatic new aerodynamic body.”
It should be rather practical and versatile too: “With thoughtful technology, comfortable seating for seven and ample cargo room, the 4-wheel drive Pathfinder Concept previews the next-gen production Pathfinder that is scheduled to go on sale in the third quarter of 2012.”
Now, assuming that this new Pathfinder will once again be based on the Navara bakkie, it should be safe to assume that Nissan has another ace up its sleeve in that department.
With formidable new rivals like the Ford Ranger and VW Amarok lurking around - the bakkie game is not waiting for anyone.
