2008 Nissan Armada LE Review

I'm not the first auto journalist to write about the Nissan Armada since its introduction in 2004. And so, I'm not the first one to criticize its extra-large girth which results in extra-high fuel consumption. As you can guess, this SUV is not an environmentally friendly performer; after all, what else than a big V8 engine could motivate this stately mansion on wheels? While journalists all seem to champion a greener world, automakers are doing just about whatever they please. Actually, no; consumers are the ones dictating market trends. And if the Americans want big, gas-guzzling vehicles, why not the Japanese?
