This VS a toyota sequoia... I rather have THIS.
Some reviewers are even saying you might as well save money and get a Patrol over QX80

Yea, Nissan doesn't sell the Patrol in the US. I bet they withhold it so that they can only offer the QX80 which costs more money. I wonder what the major differences are between the Patrol and QX80. Like, what are you getting for the extra money that you spend?find me a nissan dealer in North America with a Patrol on their lot and i'll take you up on that.
well no not exactly. The Q56 (QX80 before the rebadge) was based on the Nissan Armada, which was based on the ages old Nissan Titan Pickup. But the Patrol was recently updated and far more modern than the Armada so they felt it would cater to consumers better if they offered the modern refresh...Yea, Nissan doesn't sell the Patrol in the US.

it's going to be tough for an american reviewer to get to the patrol, it's not sold in the U.S or CanadaWe will probably have to wait for a American company to review the Patrol before we get a comparison to the QX80. That is unlikely to happen quickly since the Patrol isn't being sold here. I have a feeling that the QX80 won't bring tonnes more to the table. A few more luxury features and interior options, but that it.
looks like a straight rebadge, likely whats done for nations where infiniti's aren't sold brand new.Even the interior of the Nissan Patrol is pretty nice I am just not sure where the QX80 actually provides more luxury than the Patrol. You figure there must be added value in some part of the QX80 over the Patrol.

Almost no difference between them really.
why does it surprise you, you outlined the strategy in your first paragraph. Infiniti and Lexus and Acura are American brands. They were needed because Toyota, Nissan and Honda all entered this market as low budget options, how do you convince people who are conditioned to view you as inferior to spend a premium on your products? Create a luxury sub brand. In Japan they do not suffer the same identity crisis...This has been done before on a much larger scale when brands like Nissan and Toyota wanted to expand their luxury vehicle efforts into North America as an Infiniti and Lexus, meanwhile their homeland, Japan, had these same cars as Nissans and Toyotas.
Now Infiniti and Lexus vehicles are sold in Japan, which surprises me they're still doing this rebagding idea.
