Talk:Nissan Xterra

message: "Every single Xterra commercial depicts someone driving it though the mud, unloading mountain bikes out of the back to go hit the trail, or packing up their surfing gear."  This just seems not to be fact.  Could someone find a source?  Maybe start with "Most commrecials feature..."
:I like it.  I've added it to the text.  I think it would be impossible to find written justification of thier marketing tactic, but what are the chances we'll ever see a commercial featuring the Xterra at the mall with a soccer mom and kids?  I'd bet almost never. --Brownings 03:42, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm not sure what's spawned the recent changes and shuffling of images around.  There seems to be 3, maybe 4 people invloved, myself included.  What exactly is/was wrong with the images and layout before this started?  If you're unsure of what original layout I'm talking about, view it here.  It's also the most current version of the article, that is till Bull-Doser & IFCAR troll through again and start making/reverting changes.  Oh, and Karrmann, my changes were to start putting it back in the state you have it in, IFCAR reverted those changes back to Bull-Doser's version.  --Brownings 21:57, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I put it back to my own version. It has the first two of these three pictures illustrating the first generation instead of the third, in Brownings's version:

replies: text: The first two are alright looking, but the third picture is way too busy.  Thank you for contributing the two photos that are shown on Karrman's current version of the page, but why do we need the third?  Is there a problem with Karrmann's current version that we should possibly discuss?  Seems to me that you're really pushing your photos to be used on the article and no one else's.  Perhaps a compromise would be to add an Xterra gallery to the bottom of the page.  Then everyone could add photos and we could get a wide variety of colors, years, and generations.  --Brownings 22:36, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Karrmann's current version IS the version that I put up, that you reverted to the version with the third picture which I agree is inferior in quality to the other two. IFCAR 22:48, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, perhaps all this was a mistake.  So, I'm saying I like Karrmann's version, you're saying you like Karrmann's version, and obviously Karrmann likes Karrmann's version.  I guess my revert (I didn't actually use the Undo button) where it didn't take out all of Bull-Doser's changes is the source of confusion.  Anyway, Karrmann's version is where I'd like to see the article stay at.  Of course I'd still like to put a gallery at the bottom.  After all, what could it hurt?  --Brownings 23:04, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The sequence of events was that a month or two ago, I put up the images as they are now. They were recently changed from that, and I reverted the changes. Then you reverted me, then Karrmann reverted you to put it back the way I originally had it, the way it is now. I don't see the need for a gallery though, unless there are some great images that aren't already somewhere in the article. IFCAR 23:17, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

text: OK, well guess there was just some confusion there.  My bad.  Anyhow, the reason I suggest the gallery is that it would be nice to have pics of the backsides of the X (both Generations), maybe the engines, and the interiors.  With the current article layout there is no way to add them.  It'd just be too cluttered.  --Brownings 03:17, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

message: It's mentioned in the article that the 2nd gen model looks smaller, but it actually larger.  Who says that it looks smaller?  I always thought it looked bigger, which it is.  Azrael Renegades 12:26, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: It's true of any car, given the right situation.  It's been awhile, but at one time just about every car company was issuing reminders not to park on dry leaves, at least not a huge mound of them.  In the case of last night's episode, a few things were taken to the extreme.  First off, the pile AJ parked on wasn't that large.  Second, earlier in the episode we saw heavy flurries, which snow, just like rain, would have made the leaves damp.  You've just got to remember, HBO is TV, so they tend to blow almost everything out of portion for the effect of the situation.  --Brownings 10:50, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: So really, the scene had nothing specific to do with this vehicle in particular, just a general condition that could occur with any vehicle given the right set of circumstances...of course, notwithstanding dramatic effect for TV.  -Tarabyte 04:18, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

message: As you've probably seen, I've pulled all the descriptions from the External links section.  Honestly, it's gotten rather out-of-hand with the labels and wars between non-regs changing their club's descriptions back and forth with things like "Largest Xterra resource.." or "Biggest owner community."  While I have no problem with providing links on Wikipedia to club or fan pages, I do have a problem with penis measuring contests.  As a result, I zapped all the descriptions.  I did not however alter any of the links themselves.  Anyone else have an opinion on this matter?  --Brownings 13:17, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: External links & the pissing contest

message: Under the Second Generation section, there is a section added about a lawsuit pertaining to the vehicle's transmission. The section seems to be pulled word for word from the website of the law office who sued Nissan. Regardless, given that, according to the source link, all available claims have been made, this section no longer applies anyways ("The settlement will provide various benefits to all current and former owners and lessees...").
I am removing it. It seems more of an ad than useful information. Owners are typically individually notified of these things, anyways. MastrCake (talk) 19:49, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
