Nissan President SUV - A competitor for the Toyota Century SUV

Have you seen Toyota's all-new SUV version of the Century? Normally, the Century is Toyota's flagship for the Japanese market; a luxury sedan sold in 4 different generations. Its main competitor was the Nissan President, a luxury sedan (also only for Japan) which was sold in 4 different generations, from 1965 to 2010. As Toyota presented the Century SUV, why not reviving the Nissan President as a luxury SUV?
As we know, Toyota used the US-Spec Grand Highlander's platform (used also by Lexus TX) for the making of the Century SUV, so I used the US-Spec Nissan Armada (the Nissan's corresponding model to Grand Highlander) to render the President SUV. Then I filled it with upmarket parts (such as luxurious front grille, President model's characteristic statue and chrome bumpers) and also I extended the SUV's wheelbase to make the new luxurious SUV. Do you like this idea?
