X-trail Heading to Canada, possibly US

Happy X-Trails to Nissan
![]()
Nissan's Euro-market "soft-roader," the X-Trail, will roll into Canadian showrooms later this year, but it's unclear whether the crossover/ute will ever make it to the U.S. Sharing its platform with the Altima sedan, the X-Trail is designed for suburban warriors who want something a bit more hip and rugged than a station wagon. It will hit Canada with a 2.4-liter powertrain offered in both front- and all-wheel-drive configurations. More than 400 changes were made to prepare X-Trail for Canadian roads - and winters - according to company sources. Among X-Trail's more attractive features are a flexible rear storage system, and a water- and scratch-resistant removable cargo floorboard. The X-Trail is meant to go up against the likes of the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV-4, a fast-growing segment in the Canadian market. It fits into the Nissan lineup below the more traditional Xterra SUV, which is being moved a bit upmarket. A similar opportunity exists in the United States, a senior Nissan official acknowledged to TheCarConnection. Speaking on background, he suggested a U.S. version "is not out of consideration - if not with this generation X-Trail, then the next."

Canada is getting all the cool nissans now, and we are being left out, maybe i can import
Canada is supposed to get a Diesel in the next gen sentra/C-Note and they are supposed to get the CUBE
Bring it nissan, diesel cars are selling very well in the USA
VW sells ever single one they import and are bringing more every year
and Benz is bringing back the Diesel e-class
and Ford has a Diesel focus in the works to be launched arund 2007
the CUBE would be great to compete with the SCION's
