while the current xterra is very popular and a nice vehicle, it has aged just like the frontier it is based on. If I were you and not in a rush to get a new car I would wait for the 05. Why buy a 7 year old (talking about design) truck when you can have a new one with all the new technology. The 3.3 is no power house when hauling the xterra around and although the S/C has some bite, it's gas mileage and range is rediculous for a smaller SUV. The 05 will be much better off with 40-50 more horsepower and it will be N/A. not to mention the new nissan corporate look on the interior (which I think is very attractive and unique) and everything should be better with this redesign. One thing i'm counting on is nissan will probably pay close attention to build quality on these 3 (xterra, pathfinder, frontier) after all the quality bugs that attacked the Titan, Armada, and Quest. In fact they have a team of engineers going over all the assembly and manufacturing processes to eliminate all these snaffoo's! If you can be patient.... just wait!
