Hello everyone,

I just picked up my second QX, first was a 2004... now we have a 2008.
My wife and I are not new to the Nissan/Infiniti family. We have had a couple altimas, maximas, g35 coupe, on our 3rd M, and now second QX.
I'm also over in the M forum, just dropping by to say Hi.

Welcome aboard!

What are your impressions of the 08 compared to the 04?

Well, We loved the '04 model minus the few things that I had to fix including the transmission cooler hose fail, leaking radiator, a chirping pulley under the hood.
The '08 seems to have less squeaks and rattles from the interior and the updated navi and audio system are great. The front parking sensor and power folding mirrors are useful when trying to cram the bus into our barely adqueate garage.
Overall, they both are great for what we need... safely haul the family and dog around on long trips (in style :dblthumb: )
I think the QX is one of the sexiest large SUVs available

Agreed - If we still needed the extra seating, I'd own one!

'course, mine would be dropped... supercharged... debadged... :)

The '08 had some nice interior changes made to it, I had an '04 QX56, then an '08 Armada, and the '08 Armada LE was actually nicer inside than my '04 QX56.

Enjoy the new ride!
