2009 Nissan X-Trail spotted in Dubai
By Mashfique Hussain Chowdhury
While we were not sure whether the new-generation Nissan X-Trail would even make it here, one of our readers, Don, spotted a 2009 model on a flatbed towtruck on the Sheikh Zayed Road.
We had reported on the new model earlier, since it has been out in Europe for a year now. On another note, the 2009 Infiniti FX is launching in the UAE on July 27th. The official launch dates for new models such as the Maxima, G37 sedan, Patrol and GT-R are still unknown.

still better than qashqai
before months when they first brought the new lancer in here. I saw about 10 new lancers were carried to shj showroom by a big truck. But the problem was most of these cars were hard broken (shipping problems as i think)mash. the question is, does the dealer sell these cars after fixing them or will be returned to japan?

now the good news is that they are testing the “”"”GCC”"”" version of the GTR in DUbai Autodrom. from the pics you will notice many interesting stuff…
..
1- the GCC will not be like the American version actually it will be the same as the Japanese version>>i’ll let you think why from the pics
2-mohad bin sulaiem (second pic) tested it and he preffered it more than his “special version SLR” also in the last pic is the big engineer who built this monster.
3- if you noticed in the 2nd pic the golden line on the seats(below his elbow).
4- the price now as some people have heared will be around 260k DHS…i think this will kill the sells of the Z06.
4- the most important thing if you noticed that the SALIK tag was fixed on the wind shield which proves that all of this was in DUBAI hahahahahahaha

The X-Trail seems to have a split bumper/tail gate system like the new Outlander.
In response to your question Assassin, it all depends on the severity of the damages. If the cars suffer light to moderate damages they are repaired and put in the showroom. The one’s that are totalled are scrapped. All dealers take an insurance policy to cover consignments, so damages are covered(paid) under an insurance policy. To those who plan on buying a new car anytime soon, wouldnt you like to know whether the car your buying was damaged before it got here?
by Mashfique Hussain Chowdhury, on June 22 2008 @ 10:06 pm
I actually don’t know what happens to damaged cars, so I’ll rely on RayD’s answer. All I know is the dealer is “supposed” to do a “PDI” check before delivery.
by RayD, on June 24 2008 @ 8:23 pm
Mashfique,
The dealer does conduct a ‘PDI’ after repairs and before delivering the car to a customer.
On another issue, would you recommend the new Jeep Wrangler?
by Mashfique Hussain Chowdhury, on June 24 2008 @ 9:17 pm
Never driven a Wrangler, but judging by just sitting in it, and looking at the specs….as a daily on-road driver….no. If you love offroading a LOT, then it makes a bit more sense.

why here in UAE, they are fond of hub cubs/rims, why not go for the mags? is rims better than the mags?
