lol dont take it personal dude, he is just voicing his opinion....its your car so who cares what others think..if u like it then cool

 

[dtruax]

Yeah, my bad. - your right. Its tough to get over the ugly car complex.

Its a blast off road though, I'm going to Moab this year and looking forward to it. I'm looking to get a set of better tires for it and some 16" wheels to replace the stock 18's.

i think smaller SUV are fun too...we used to have a 4x4 Xterra and that hing was awesome off road...lol but it wasnt mine so i couldnt take it off roading alot....but i think your 215 hp V6 is pretty impressive.
