  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

What are your thoughts on the Nissan Armada NISMO - would you buy a full size performance Genesis SUV?

So... The Nissan Armada NISMO. This is a segment that no Genesis (or any Korean brand) sells a product in. The GV80 is surely large enough for most people. But, obviously, many people like full size body on frame SUVs. A bunch of the luxury brands have them. Lexus, Infiniti, Lincoln, Cadillac, GMC (kinda luxury). Did I forget any? And of course, lots of luxury brands DON'T have them. Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Acura, Buick (kinda luxury)...

I see people asking "WHY" - but I get it. It's not an Escalade-V, it's basically their version of the Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro - so nothing Earth shattering. Some people just like having a little extra power if and when it's needed. It's the upgraded brakes and / suspension - and exterior differences that will likely sell the full size body on frame SUV... Me, I prefer luxury over sport. But I can see people wanting something with a more aggressive appearance that feels a little more stable at highway speeds.

What do you think? Would you buy a full size body on frame Genesis SUV with some get up an go?
