Default So long Chevy...Hello Nissan!

After 2 days of waiting, I finally got my 06 Armada LE 4X4 today.

Nice looking Nissan.


and enough about gas milage, if someone gets an SUV I am sure they really don't care about gas milage.


Not till after they see how bad it is anyway Moms got a Mountaineer with the 5.0, and it don't do that bad on gas milage.

14 MPG Armada, I dont think so. 10 would be good driving, have fun with that, new Tahoes get 23+ with their DOD (active fuel management).

The Displacement on demand feature is a joke, that thing just works when you let off the gas...I test drove one, I actually took it to the Nissan dealership to compare it side to side w/ the Armada and you can see my pick and I'm a Chevy guy. Go to their website and read it yourself from their owners. I did my homework for 3 months before I bough the Armada. I was between the 07 Tahoe and the Armada, if you just go by looks and driving, you'll buy the Tahoe, but when you get into the details, the Armada hands down. Other thing is that they(Chevy) still using the 4l60 in the Tahoe, nuff said.

To be honest w/ you I just got tired of it. I didn't need the car it was just a toy, and I couldn't go more than a month witout buying a mod for it, wasted to much money. But I'll be back w/ a LSX but not in a F-body.
