Just remember if your going to keep it a while get what you REALLY want. test drive them all and then make you choice.

Actually it is, hence the reason for the lean on the Tahoe.

you can easily put bass woofers in an armada with 3rd row and still have cargo room imo.

as i said above drive every one and make your choice. but give the armada a chance...

I honestly like the Armada alot. If Nissan CS could step it up a bit it would be back in the strong running. Unfortunately with the high price tag and low CS support it steers me away a bit.

I think your best bet would be getting a sequoia as stated earlier if you want something that big for a great value. It's not as luxurious as some of the others but that is where you can step in. I dated a girl that had one and I liked it a lot, very spacious. If you are leasing wouldn't the imports have smaller lease payments? That is if they are still calculated using residual values.

Sequoia's don't have that much power. With a V8, its still crap.

My parents have one and I don't think it's bad at all and matches well with the truck. Not as much ***** as the titan we had but the quality is MUCH MUCH BETTER. The new titan/armada's should be improved in interior quality.

Go Sequioa, you cant go wrong and I think It is faster than the pathfinder maybe not as fast as the Armada but honestly are you go to really be pushing to the limit!

Also the build quality is there and you can get one now with great financing! I love mine and If you were closer I would ride up and let you take a real test drive! I will be getting a custom JL Sub Form for the back and Som new speakers so I will let all know how that will go!
