Is this something you’d like to see in our market?
The following fact slightly surprised me: Nissan has sold six million X-Trails, and clone Rogues, over three generations. The first one was quite funky for a year-2000 vehicle, but then it became somehow invisible. Or at least unmemorable. Maybe this
