Nissan Frontier
The midsize pickup category has been stagnating for the last few years, but the arrival of the new Chevrolet Colorado/GMC Canyon last year and the update of the Toyota Tacoma should generate buyers' interest. This should benefit the Frontier, whose unique shape helps it stand out from the crowd. Those who opt for the version with the 2.5-litre 4-cylinder will have to settle for rear-wheel drive, so if you're looking for 4x4, you'll have to choose the 4.0-litre V6.
