Interesting, but that bit about the headlight design being related to the 240's was an eyebrow-raising stretch to say the least.

I wonder why they de-linked the steering column from the IP this time around, seemed like a great trick for enhancing instrument visibility across drivers of different sizes in the 370.

They certainly nailed the tach design, although its apparent resolution in photos is not that great, hopefully it's crisper IRL. I trust they made as much use of their racing drivers for feedback on handling, etc. as for the tach setup.

Yeah I saw this …personally I thin’ it’s a great idea. So many people buy 4WD or SUVs for the dogs, but they don’t buy restraints etc….in Aus its not common at all. So anything that promotes safety is a good idea, and if I had a Patrol, Pathfinder etc…I’d buy one

I know it's not the point of the article, but side-by-side the Nissan logo looks sooooooo much better than Toyota (also kind of funny how they used a high-res version for Nissan and just tried to scale the Toyota to the point of pixelation)

Lol, yeah I really like the new Nissan logo. Digging the badge they went with on the cars as well with the silver & white.
