Nissan Armada
The Armada remains on offer for 2011. With a revamped design and a more efficient engine, this big SUV performs very well. It has become more fuel efficient, and has improved in the area of CO2 emissions. Since our neighbours to the south like this type of vehicle, it would be a surprise if it, or its sidekick, the Infiniti QX56, disappeared any time soon. The vehicles have distanced themselves from one another this year, with the QX56 undergoing a complete makeover.
