Hi jakey,
Many thanks for the info on the interior of the 2009 GV. Hopefully we will be able to see photos of the North American version GV. I am sure it will differ slightly from the Japanese Escudo RHD, in terms of headlights with built-in reflectors, and other US/Canada-spec items.
Cheers,
GV real SUV

Beige cloth or leather int. in black, beige and white ext.; black cloth or leather int. in blue, grey and silver ext. The beige int. models have the dark wood accents that only the leather models had previously (both colours), while the black int. now has a kind of black/grey marbled "wood" trim that I wasn't sure about at first but is definitely growing on me. I have to say I prefer the beige cloth to the beige leather, and I was sure it was going to be the other way around. (I like the black better overall, cloth and leather, but I had low expectations for the GV beige cloth based on the SX4 sedan's beige cloth.)
I've driven both engines now, and I have to say I LOVE the I4. Very peppy and quieter than the old V6 on the h/way IMO. The new V6 is awesome of course but you'll pay for that in extra fuel consumption. I drive mostly city with a touch of h/way so I'll opt for the I4 next year. (Yeah: looks like I'm getting a white 2008 V6 in a couple of weeks as the 09's are reserved for dealers at the moment.)
Man, I love the blue! Damn it's going to be popular here.
