Wednesday, November 22, 2000 THE OAKVILLE BEAVER 2 0 0 1 N is s a n P a t h f in d e r Nissan Pathfinder packs more pow er By Rob Beintem a SPEC IA L TO T H E BEAVER Pictured above is Allan Brooks, Sales & Leasing, Chantelle Douglas, Receptionist, Mark Erwin, General Sales Manager, Joe Moumdjian, Sales & Leasing, Andrew Jakobsons, Sales and Leasing, and Bob McIntosh, Fleet/Remarketing Manager, all waiting to give you the chance to win a trip fo r two to Hawaii! A dvertising F eature I 've alw ays had a soft spot for the N issan Pathfinder. E ver since I first took one through the backroad trails o f the M uskoka bush. T he D eerhurst Inn, one o f northern O ntario's prem ier resorts, used to use Pathfinders in their off-road excursion program s and, a few years ago, I was fortunate enough to spend a day running through their 4X 4 program , testing those earlier N issans for myself. It didn't take long to see how m uch faith the off-road instructors had in the vehicle. E specially after the um pteenth boulder-strew n hill clim b, after w ad dling the truck through boggy mudholes and after creeping up and over the edge o f a gorge with nothing but blue sky in the w indshield while I wondered where the heck the horizon had gone. The truck kept tilting further and fur ther up w hile the trail guide smiled through the side w indow and beckoned me to "keep going, keep going." That's called confidence in the prod uct and its abilities. And that kind o f confidence is rare. A lot o f autom otive com panies will launch their new SUV s with much hoopla and four-wheel fanfare about truck toughness, im proved four-wheel drive system s, ground clearance, skid plates and approach angles and then lead convoys o f test vehicles down everyday dirt roads and across nambypam by nature trails that I could traverse in an old Cadillac Eldorado. Only a few will actually let you test their metal, and your mettle, in real off road situations, on bone-jarring trails seemingly designed by m admen bent on creating car crashes and cardiac arrests. "But whether people actually take their sport utility vehicles off-road or not isn't an issue with us," Ian Forsyth, Nissan Canada's director o f sales has told me on num erous occasions. "We decided a long tim e ago that the Pathfinder should be a true sport ute, tough and capable o f either on-road or off-road perform ance." I'll go along with that statement a lit tle more enthusiastically this year than I would have in years past. Because, despite my warm, fuzzy fondness, and (See `Added' page D7) If you'have been contemplat ing purchasing a new (or used) car lately, now is the time to act on those thoughts.

That one lucky person will then be thrown into the hot seat, and asked pne question.
