Nissan's come a long way since 1986. From the pickup-with a back first generation, Nissan has re-invented the once-humble Pathfinder into a luxury kiddie hauler. The 2013 Nissan Pathfinder has seven seats, promises 19 MPG city/28 highway fuel economy and goes on-sale late this year. More »

Step 1: When building a car bomb, use a real detonator. Do not use M-88 firecrackers in a steel drum in the trunk of your 1993 Nissan Pathfinder. Step 2: Do not fail at Step 1. [via FBI] More »

This clip from the very soggy streets of Nashville, TN shows some kids having a brilliantly good time using a Nissan Pathfinder to go water-skiing in a flooded parking lot. Of course cops step in to enforce... uh, the law? More »

Another five minutes, another corporate-sponsored, customized late-model car. (Hang in, kids, we've got a whole week of this stuff to get through.) Urban-chic designer Marc Ecko unveiled a promotional Nissan Pathfinder that bears his corporate seal at a show in New York. The exterior's done in a cream Landau roof, laser-etched rims and "safety orange" side panels. The interior is rendered in cream and tan calfskin leathers, with high-contrast stitching. The Pathfinder is one of two Nissans he's creating to heighten the profile of two of his clothing lines. The other is an Armada, which we haven't seen yet, but just give it time.

It was purely a matter of time before urban style impresario Marc Ecko teamed up with some SUVmaker or other to create a semi-private-label promo model. Word came down yesterday that it's Nissan that will get the street-cred infusion by association, as Ecko is customizing two of its SUVs, each of which will be hooked to separate clothing lines: the Cut & Sew Nissan Armada and the *ecko unltd. Nissan Pathfinder. Both are being done up in the style of each line of urban wear — downtown luxe for the Armada and more casually chill for the Pathfinder. Ecko says the cars aren't a mashup, but rather a double label, just like in sneaker culture. Of course we're about as clear on that distinction as we are on the difference between the mass acculturation of hip-hop and the rise of, say, the market for golf accessories. But we're pretty dim sometimes. More »

Why you should buy this car: The Pathfinder is an SUV from the old school: tough, reliable and capable. In SE guise, the Tennessee-built truck isn t afraid to bash some boulders and plug some mud. The Pathfinder s exemplary 6000lbs. towing capacity means one boat can pull the other. Surprisingly, the heavyweight, V6-engined SUV is faster than a speeding bullet. OK a bowling ball (imparting that exact same sense of something very heavy going very quickly). But the rest of the accommodation is spacious and inviting. And the price is right — especially in today s buyer s market. More »

The Fall of the Roamin Empire is nearly complete. Full-size SUVs that guzzled while hydrocarbons burned are now paying the ultimate price. Actually, no one s paying the price; sales are so slow dealers are bestowing pet names on the behemoths loitering on their lots (like Sell You Bastard ). Theoretically, a mid-sized SUV like the Nissan Pathfinder could benefit from the jumbo SUV exodus, as SUV lovers look to downsize into something a little less piggish. Except it won t happen.
