The new one that looks like a 100 series, has anyone else seen one?When I pulled up in front of the guy that was parked on the side of the road he took off. It looked like IFS but can't be exactly sure?

nope..the amarda is an amarda..theres no patrols in the usa..
but as you said the amarda has ifs etc..
apparently the new patrol chassis in 2006 will be running an amarda chassis though..i think?

It was definitely a patrol cause i saw the badge, and I could be wrong about the front end and I was looking at something else but I was sure it was a lower control arm. I just thought it was interesting......
And no it wasn't an Amarda

Armada is IFS and IRS (using the R230 rear diff as used in the TT 300ZX and Infiniti Q45)...
Same platform (F-alpha) is used for the Titan truck with solid rear axle, 2005 Frontier (Navara) with solid rear axle, 2005 Xterra with solid rear axle, and 2005 Pathfinder (with IRS), obviously the last 3 are on a scaled-down version of the Titan/Armada chassis.
Don't see any reason why there couldn't be a SFA version of the F-alpha platform for the Patrol. I sure hope Nissan doesn't either...
And Xfactor, is it Armada or Amarda? Make up your mind...

Have never seen an Armada in captivity.
Is it badge engineered and sold as something else here or is it for overseas sales only??

Mate saw one of the new Patrols on a back of a truck this week.
Anyone know if the utes are getting updated??
Mate has finally seen the light and selling his 100's to get a Patrol ute.
