More of a SUV than a 4x4, this fourth generation Pathfinder seats 7 passengers and is built on the same platform shared with the new Altima and Infiniti JX. For the rest, Nissan had plenty to say, notably boasting that the new Pathfinder's engine will be 25% less gas hungry than its predecessor, without actually going into details about the fuel consumption rating.
Nissan should be coming out with more information soon.

After it's tremendously successful Montreal launch, the TAG iPhone App (taxi assigned by geo-location) is being launched in Trois-Rivières. The service locates callers using GPS, which makes address and location mix-ups a thing of the past.
The service, offered in collaboration with Taxi Coop de la Mauricie, allows Trois-Rivières residents who download the App to hail cabs according to special needs such as oversize luggage, pets, and other specific criteria. Furthermore, cab users are asked to rate the service at the end of their trip.
TAG taxi is currently working with other taxi industry stakeholders in Québec and elsewhere in North America in order to expand its current network. An Android TAG taxi App will be available this fall.

The fourth-generation LS, which debuted in 2006, broke considerable new ground in terms of styling and technology, but has been relegated to minor nips and tucks in the years following its debut.
