No question about if, it looks like the question is when. Which brings to mind, anyone have Armada sales figures for 2004 and 2005 to date? :hmm:t-yayo said:....if there will be a 2006.... ?

yes but armada is more of a family SUV whether titan is a work load truck dont u think? i guess for that matter armada must remain fuel powered. otherwise call it excursion.... arghhh!!!!92TripleBlack said:I said diesel because the Titan is slated for one. If they go to the trouble of putting it in the titan, they may also offer in Armada.
Suburban and Excursion both have diesel options. If they introduce the new clean diesel fuel they use in Europe, they would kick tail. Euro diesels are in high performance BMWs for example and tye will crush regular gas ones. EX. some 7 series have 300 HP and 516TQ, with a 4.5 liter diesel. http://www.bmw.ru/english/world/news/default.asp?cont=content.asp&query=pageID_139 But they run on cleaner diesel than we have in the states so they don't send them here. BMW says it will send them if we get the better fuel. The fuel companies say they won't sell the fuel because there is noone using it. Vicious circle and we are left out. I remember reading somewhere however the government has told gas companies to clean up their diesel within a few years so there is hope.inf3rno said:yes but armada is more of a family SUV whether titan is a work load truck dont u think? i guess for that matter armada must remain fuel powered. otherwise call it excursion.... arghhh!!!!![]()

Yes. That is the correct mileage. Don't expect to get mileage like this however. The 7 series is much smaller, lighter, and more aerodynamic than an Armada. But we would probably have better mileage and more power. The fuel is the big concern first though.inf3rno said:umm i was reading the bmw 7 series web that posted, and was reading about the engines: most of em' give about 25-27 mpg am i right on this? considering these are diesel or petrol is really good, but where are talking bout german company whether here is ford with excursion and expy. kinda of a diff dont u think? and yes nissan DID A GREAT JOB ON HIS 1ST YEAR WITH THE ARMADA !!![]()
