Its a nice SUV, saw a couple in Dubai, the taillights look good lit at night. The only problem is they wont have an option for a 6 speed manual gearbox. Its a 7speed.

From what i read so far, they made no mention of a diesel engine. If holds true.
I think it will hurt their sales, especially in Europe with their love for diesels. And people just loved to tune the ol' Turbo Diesel models.

Edit- you might want to turn audio off.

I prefer the new QX56 and starting at mid $50s you almost can't beat it:

It looks a bit like a van with regular doors.. Not to say that it is bad, but it seems like a lot of SUV's are becoming 4 door vans styling wise, but luckly they have ground clearance and more power, making them actually good for some fun.
