Seen a white one parked in Gazley's Wellington show room last night as I drove past, looked okay, Gazley are advertising them on Trademe now.

Rear power sliding window trick - pooch be able poke his head through. Do smile at the actual ute part with modern 4wd utes as looks way out of proportion to cab and bonnet - to short - akin to the rear end of an old skool kids tricycle and not as practical as could be. Prob grow on me the shape but at this stage prefer the D40 staunch american look - be great if lots of D40 550 owners have to have latest shape and D40 550's come down in price.

Power sliding rear window? Mitsi Tritons have had that for years!

Hope it has a better steering lock than the present model. My Austin A70 had a better turning circle, and that was appalling. The bloody thing is a embrassment to drive around town.!

I have already had a Nissan dealer try and get me out of my 550 and I just laughed at him, Nissan dealers know that the 550 die hards will be very hard to get into newer smaller utes.

A D40 550 is longer than a 100 series cruiser.

Yeah when you already have the most powerful quickest 4WD ute sold by dealers here why would a 550 owner go backwards.

Not good news for Nissan fans, turns out good looks are about the only thing the Navara has in its favour. http://www.carsguide.com.au/car-reviews/2015-nissan-navara-mitsubishi-triton-and-vw-amarok-review-33199#.VYgiQH3LfMI Aparently the new Navara is the worst to drive, noisy and has rubbish steering, even with its fancy new suspension and engine. The much cheaper Mitsubishi Triton even rates as better to drive. Being so much more expensive than the Triton won't help Navara sales much either.

I have had 3 Nissan dealers write and contact me to go to their launch of the new NP300, not interested till they bring out a 650 version.

You'll be waiting a long time then - forever. I was at Nissan dealer yesterday (some rash moment of wanting to spend money). The new Navara looks a lot nicer than the D40. I could have taken one for a drive, but didn't (I'm not buying one - LOL - being a "beta tester" for anything costing $50k is a mug's game). They kept pushing the fuel economy line, claiming 6.1 (or was it 6.3?) l/100km. I'm skeptical. Test review I read suggested 7.8, but the auto as good as the manual. That's not bad if true.

That car guide probably got tools writing for it like those tools on aussie top gear. Would not know decent car. Plenty excellent reviews on net - use uncle google.
