Front end styling is even meatier than in the concept pics. I like it a lot.

It is BIG the grill reminds me of the frontier pick up. The guy driving was a good sport about me getting out of my G at stop lights and taking pictures of it with my blackberry.

To get an idea of scale look at the full size Chevy truck in the lane next to it

I dig this. If it has Titan guts with a van body I'd be all over this at the commercial rental counter.

It does indeed. Titan frame and drivetrain.

I drive a lot for work my 07 G has 90821 miles on it. I saw the FX50 running around before it was out and posted pictures. I drove the G37 convert before it came out (thanks Greg).

We have a Nissan testing facility here just outside Phoenix. At one of the IOS track days I had an engineer do a ride along with me I got his email address and tried to make a new friend but I think he knew I was just after his toys :-(
