Titan Facelift Coming to Chicago Show

Nissan plans to unveil a facelifted full-size Titan pickup truck during next month's Chicago Auto Show, company insiders have confirmed.

The unveiling comes at a critical time for Nissan, which lost market share last year, and is now facing a new challenge in the pickup segment from Toyota, which is determined to boost sales of its new full-size Tundra pickup truck.

Pickup trucks remain critical to both American and Japanese automakers because they provide healthy profits, even though discounting and rebates in the segment have been increasing.

Meanwhile,Toyota hopes to push the Tundra's sales to 200,000 units this year as production ramps up at the Japanese auto giant's new assembly plant in San Antonio, Texas. The Tundra marketing blitz is set to kick off about the same time as the Nissan unveils the Titan in Chicago.

Looks like it's a good time to get a deal on a '07 or leftover '06 Titans.

Actually, my brother has an '05 Titan CrewCab and it isn't so bad. I didn't like it at first, but I've driven it, towed with it, and did some light offroading with it and was impressed. The design definately isn't breathtaking, but I like it for what it is - a solid fullsize truck. 14MPG is pretty rough though - not EPA, but my own experience.

You could also use a John Deere tractor. What is wrong with you?

I know when we here 'facelift', we just think of exterior changes, but I wonder what they are more concerned about improving MPG or Torque and HorsePower...

Power folding rear seats and front sensors are new for 08 Armada's. The spy pics of edmund's straight line shows off the front end and rear end of the Armada. Hopefully we can see what it really look like in April.
