2011 Nissan Quest?

Seems to be built on the new Elgrand platform. Doesn't look half bad, though I'd rather take an Oddy

After reading a few more articles on different sites , it is the Elgrand.

hmmnnn!!!!

well, it looks better than the last Quest. BUT because it's not a true Elgrnad, we will only dream of it being one just like the Sienna. No one's gonna mess with them. So for a tasty treat of what we are missing I present this

latest Stylewagon had a feature with the new kits already out for the new Elgrand. some looked sick layed out

I think it's sick, and about as close to a true JDM van as we got.

yup

 Meh...the first Gen Oddy works for me..
 
This front end looks horrid...but that's just me..

How is it not a TRUE Elgrand?

It is the same car with a different front end, tail lights and rear door.

You guys are crazy not to like this van, its awesome looking.

looks way to much like a nissan truck, the other elgrand is much more distinctive

I've been there quite a few times and it seems to me that all the vans you see in Japan look totally different because they look like trucks and are quite boxy, and most are RWD. Of course they have to tweak it for "American tastes" but I think it's very Japanese looking.

Looks awesome.  Best of the 3 japanese vans.

YES YES YES!

If there's no aftermarket support, then it's a no go... If some of the bodykits and suspension mount up then its cool, what version of the Elgrand is it similar to?

no one is gonna make stuff for this van.....makes me sad...and it's true

"shrugs"

The Elgrand is a nice van!  But I would go with the Vellfire or the Alphard:

Well I was hoping to see one while I was visiting family in NJ this past week. The guys at all the Nissan dealerships were scratching their heads- either from me being out there in the middle of that snow storm looking to testdrive a van, or because they had no idea what I was talking about. 

Found some new pics- which seems to confirm what's on Nissan USA.

I know that Toyota and Honda own the Van scene but I think it actually has potential. Someone start photoshopping :dance:

After looking much closer, I believe the front clip should be interchangeable... This thing is exactly the same on the interior as the JDM version as well....  The body ines look to be exactly the same as well for the front and rear bumpers, so the body kit support should be there with the JDM stuff, the only question is whether the suspension is the exact same or not..... We may have our Second Next generation Van with built in JDM aftermarket support... The first being the Mazda 5

those tails look so bad. the front doesn't match the blockiness of the van either. I mean, Nissan throws the Juke in with the lions unchanged and yet, these companies are afraid to sell a Vellfire/Alphard or an Estima or a "real" Elgrand?

And they would all end up being Infiniti and marked up crazy...  :(

saw one this weekend. super nice interior. major stepup from the last one. Still looks better with the JDM clips
