The Pathfinder was first launched in 1987 as a derivative of Nissan’s pickup truck line. Available initially as a two-door, it was joined by a four-door version in 1990, which has been the sole body style since 1991. The original Pathfinder changed very little on the outside during its life, but was treated to a new dash and interior design in 1994. Whereas the first-generation Pathfinder was a body-on-frame design, the all-new 1996 Pathfinder featured unibody construction. In mid-1999, the Pathfinder, designated as a 1999.5 model, was face-lifted and moved upmarket. Nissan slotted its new Frontier pickup-based body-on-frame Xterra into the space in the lineup vacated by the old base model Pathfinder.

The all-new 2010 Cadillac SRX midsize crossover represents a significant departure from its rear-drive predecessor as a more integrated and highly styled entry. It’s based on General Motors’ all-new global midsize front-drive crossover architecture (also called Theta-Epsilon). The new SRX has a dramatic presence — from its prominent shield grille and large, center-positioned wreath and crest to the vertically oriented, contemporary “tailfin” taillamps that incorporate more than 40 LEDs per lamp.
