Well, I was originally waiting for the new 2013 Pathfinder to come out in a month or two, but I now ended up purchasing a JX35. The new beast is scheduled to arrive next week, and I could not be more pumped! One thing worth noting is if you are looking at a JX35 with the Panoramic roof that you actually loose a significant amount of head clearance. The 2nd row WITHOUT the Panoramic roof has 1" greater clearance. The 3rd row WITHOUT the Panoramic roof has 1.5" greater clearance!!!! Pretty crazy, that is one of the reasons I decided to not get the tech/touring Pkg. I also do light towing (I own an 8'x4' trailer) So here is what I got coming:

JX35 AWD Midnight Garnet / Java
- Premium Pkg
- Driver Assistance Pkg
- Theater Pkg
- 20" Forged Rims
- Tow Pkg
- Illuminated Kick Plates
- Stainless Steel Bumper
- Roof Rails
- Roof Rail Crossbars
- All Season Mats

I am very much looking forward to its arrival! I will keep everyone up to dated on my first impressions, I am really excited about the Java interior.

Congrats on the new ride! Looking forward to some pics and review.

Yeah, I will be sure to take some photos, it is supposed to arrive next Wednesday which is my day off, so I should have some time to snap a bunch of photos.

What a perfect day to have off of work! haha

Funny thing is it really wasn't planned that way, that is the soonest I could get I and it just so happens to be my day off!

Those are both excellent colors! We have the Java interior and get endless compliments on it - Very classy. And the Garnet is very distinctive too. Congrats!

Drove home with new JX today. Was waiting patiently for 2013 Nissan Pathfinder too but made mistake to test drive the JX.

JX35 AWD Diamond Slate with Black Leather. Premium, Driver Assistance and Theater package with Maple, illuminated and bumper protection.

Yeah, funny how that works out, but it is nice to have the luxury features and styling.
