You must have had a really crappy Legacy, because mine (and my bro's Impreza) accelerated our RX300 a number of times. Not that my Legacy GT is any force to be reckoned with but the RX300 was a slow and inefficient vehicle.

oh Infiniti, i try my best to love you...mainly because I've been a Nissan fan as far back as I can remember....but if this rumor of an Infiniti van is true, why do I even bother? 1 coupe/convert, 2 sedans and 4 crossovers/SUVs/van doesn't cut it for a luxury brand.

For a Nissan van, this is great. If there would be an Infiniti version of it, then I'd like to show even more appreciation and support for it.

I just wish the drivers where more educated, that would solve the problem, but in the mean time, stay back or pull ahead

if you roll backwards, you're at fault.

Anyways
On a slightly-related note:

http://www.nissan.co.jp/ELGRAND/NEW/

This one goes on sale this coming August 2010. Hence, reservations for pre-orders are now being accepted.

Personal comments:
From what I'm seeing so far, I like it. Indeed, I can't wait to see the its sibling (the New and upcoming Quest) as well.

Comparing the teaser shot of the Quest to these of the Elgrand I'd say that the Elgrand is a 99% representation of what the new Quest will be. If it also has this interior then I think Nissan has a real contender.

Nissan is locked in a desperate battle with Mazda to produce the ugliest car lineup on the planet. So far, both are succeeding.

That battle was already won by Acura in the U.S. (And globally by Ssangyong.)

Nissan's got nothing on Honda and Acura recently. Honda isn't just waving an ugly stick around, it's got a whole ugly carpet covering almost all of it's vehicles...

New Odyssey, can't see that selling very well.
