Dissapointed...
Just returned from a two week business trip to Beijing, Hong Kong and Taipei. Plenty of LC's all around, but the only Patrol I saw was on a poster at the Dubai airport! Was hoping to see at least one Chinese Patrol!

Re: Dissapointed...
Historically Nissan has given a lot of focus on pleasing their Mid-East customer base.
And in the Australian market, I think its success was more due to good management from the Australian Nissan distribution and support business.
It would be a shame if they miss a trick or two in the fast growing Chinese market.

Miskien is hulle te klein om in 'n Patrol te kan klim sonder 'n leer

Re: Dissapointed...
Very Sad,
To me it's got to do with Nissan and how it manages the dealerships. Their should be a focus on each product and a product manager who drives the business and marketing.
The focus has moved to the Juke ETC .

Re: Dissapointed...
It's debatable whether their ever was any real focus on the Patrol and that is really a shame, because it is a truly excellent product in a portfolio that includes some decidedly average offerings (IMHO of course).
