Nissan Armada
Though interest in big SUVs is seriously waning, Nissan brings back the Armada in 2009 with virtually no changes from last year's edition. It comes with a 5.6-litre V8 engine producing 317 horsepower and 385 pounds/foot of torque, enough to easily tow up to 9,000 pounds (4,082 kg). This is much more than many full-size pick-up trucks! With its third row seat, it accommodates up to seven people and their luggage.
