Overall I like the Quad, but there are a couple exterior styling options on the yellow one I like, too, like the lights over the cab and the Avalanche-style bed perimeter cover...

black one is best looking package, but we all know what trucks are for. If youre going to actually use it the drab olive is the only way to go.l

Of the three I'd go with the olive colored one...but it is a Nissan.  How about something along the lines of a diesle powered Sami?  Better yet,, a 4 door, diesle powered Sami

The olive drab one looks the best.  the black one grille has too much ghetto bling to it.  And I'm sick of yellow but the roll bar lights are alright.

Guys think about it...we (North America) are NEVER going to get the Sami back and no amount of hoping is going to make it happen.  Meanwhile the GV and XL7 have gone further from their true 4x4 roots...this thing has a body on frame, solid rear axle, coil sprung IFS, powerful 4.0L V6, and is based upon what is arguably the class leading small pickup out there right now.  If they make a Suzuki version of the NISMO package it'll be a solid wheeler right out of the box.

For whomever said they haven't heard good things about Nissan offroad remember that most would say that about Suzukis and the current Frontier is head and shoulders above anything from Suzuki right now.

I would have to say I like the styling of the Quad. It actually resembles a truck. The fact that it is a rebadged Frontier is a little dissappointing. Nissans aren't bad rig but, I was hoping that Suzuki would do something unique for there first entry into this market niche.

The Quad is the only one that doesn't look like some re-badged piece of chit so there really isn't a choice here folks, it is to be a Suzuki it has to be the Quad.

 >:( Why bother, it just a rebadged Nissan.  Suzuki use to import some great small untility vehicals that had they own identy.  They have move away from that market are are now shooting to compete with all other manufactures.  High end, option loaded, ski mom vehicals.  That where they can get top return for the dollar.  I morn the loss of the Sidekicks, Samurai, and first Vitara's.  Soon all will be unibody, indepentent supensions, all wheel drive, no low range, but I sure they will have a cupholders,bluetooth equiped and M3P plug!

Quad looks mean. 

"electronically controlled part-time two-speed transfer case"

I don't like the sound of that >:(  Part time? WTF is that?  2 speed I hope means it has an actual low range.  So is this a real transfer case?  As long as the transfer case is real there something there to work with.  Solid axle swap, gears, lockers and it would own!

It's more fun to drive a slow car fast than to drive a fast car slow.

First we got Daewookies, now its Nissukies? They all just look like rebadged, Nissans with some different trim. None of them excite me, but if I had to choose, I pick the drab olive as well. Personally I would be happiest if they would just give us a SLIGHTLY updated LWB Samurai here...

Shrockworks built the bumper and the rock sliders on the green one. I vote for the green one.

I'd probably wouldn't  buy one simply because it's a rebadged Nissan and not a true Zuk, but at least it's got decent specs. I'd like to see a reg-cab short-box version...combine that with lockers, a lift, some tires and some sliders and you got yourself a good lil truck!

I like the quay(black one) Because it looks diffrent.  I see most every one voted for the Olive one, but it looks JUST LIKE THE FRONTIER !!!! The Yellow one looks a lot like the frontier also, but that thing on the back of the cab makes it look the Avalanche, or Ridgeline, which I really dont care for. The olive one does look tough though, but it still says "Look at me, I am a tricked out frontier"
