SPY VIDEO: 2010 Nissan Patrol SUV Caught Testing in U.A.E.

Even though it's been a year since we first showed you a set of photos of the next-generation 2010 Nissan Patrol bagged completely undisguised during some sort of internal presentation, the Japanese automaker has yet to release the vehicle onto the market. Apparently, as this video of a prototype Patrol caught testing in the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.) suggest, Nissan is still continuing the development of its 4x4 model.

The new Patrol, which should make its debut sometime this year, will compete head on with Toyota's latest generation Land Cruiser. It is also presumed that the new Patrol will form the base for the U.S. market 2011 Infiniti QX that you can check out here.

2011 Infiniti QX SUV Spied Undisguised, Appears to be Based on New Nissan Patrol

These photographs of the all-new 2011 Infiniti QX have just landed on the webosphere providing us with our first undisguised view of the Japanese firm's QX56 successor that's expected to arrive in the U.S. sometime in 2010. If you take a moment to look at these spy pictures of the next-generation Nissan Patrol, also known in some markets as the Safari, you'll discover that, besides the unique front and rear-end designs along with the slightly different wheel arches, the two vehicles are practically one and the same.

We'll agree with our Jalopnik friends that the front-end styling of the new Infiniti QX including the blacked out windscreen columns and the side air-vents bring to mind the Kia Soul crossover...

There's no official information on Infiniti's extra-large luxury SUV that targets the likes of the Lexus LX, but U.S. buyers should expect a V8 option, quite possibly based on the 2011 Infiniti M's new 5.6-liter V8 which is said to deliver somewhere around 400 horsepower.

VIDEO: Shocking Accident in Russia, Rally Car Runs Over Cameramen

How many times have we seen spectators and professionals alike being hurt or even killed at rallies simply because they were standing in a prohibited area? The answer is more times than we can remember. In this incident that occurred in Russia, two foolish -and that's an understatement- cameramen provoked their fate by trying to capture the moment at a man-made overpass.

The result? The driver of a Nissan Patrol rally truck lost control of the vehicle hitting one cameraman and running over the other one. We had to watch the video several times to believe it, but amazingly, both men actually got up all by themselves - at least that part of the brain works. Even though we can't say if they suffered any injuries or not, they should consider themselves lucky just for being alive.

As for the driver in the Nissan, what can we say; dim-witted as the two men may be, they are still human beings and we cannot comprehend the fact that he didn't even stop for a moment to see if they were okay...

Thanks for the tip Chris!
