I think the Murano is great and good value for your buck.

I really like the look and talk about value for money try to buy anything with the same equipment level for those $$$$

The front end of this is a disappointment and overall, I prefer the original’s exterior design. The interior is a huge step forward.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the polarising looks of this, the strong(er) competition and the downturn in the economy will all conspire to ensure this is yet another Nissan (Micra and Navara excepted) that doesn’t meet sales targets.

Haha dont be so ridiculous. I just realise that there is a difference between stylish and trying way to hard to be stylish.

The dualis is another failure… sorry forgot to mention that. That is down the other end of the boring/ugly scale.

I have a mate who works at Main north nissan here in SA so i asked him and he said its going OK… tbh i was surprised by that… by the number i see on the road i wouldve thought it would be struggling. Must be young girls who get sucked in by these ‘cute for 1 minute’ cars..

Perhaps they are all still on their learners????

crouchy, i urge you to ring your local Nissan dealer tomorrow and ask them how the Micra is going, i think you might be suprised, not everyone likes a car styled like an EL Falcon champ

FORZA,

I somehow think that seeing this beast in the flesh wont do it any favours. I dont like the styling direction that Nissan are taking… thats all im saying and thats my opinion.

We will see what happens when they start selling them.. much like the micra, the numbers will tell all.

I saw a new Murano (white) on the freeway about a week ago. It looks small, I almost mistook it for a Dualis at the back. From the side it looks better, but the styling will date quickly.

Crouchy if you cant handle it go have a cry on your mums shoulder. You are right everyone is entiltled to an opinion. My opinion is that anyone who cains cars that he has not ever driven or seen in the flesh (Murano and 370)should keep his mouth shut.

Thats my opinion….

That front grill is nasty. I think it looks OK from the back and the interior looks good but the front? Yuck. Horrible. I’d much rather an updated Tribeca but then again, I am lucky enough not to be forced into a market where they try to make Japanese SUVs sound like they are in competition with the X5 and M Class. I can afford the X5.

Gee, i was getting worried there for a while I was the only one who thought this thing was hideous.

When I saw a rear end photo in the papers the other day, I actually thought the new Murano will be much better looking than the old one….unti I saw this article… the front grille – it is just hideous! ditto about the new Maxima – the front end is just plain UGLY!
They are considering to compete with BMW and the likes? Oh please…

FORZA M – “Crouchy the only thing that failed here is you wood duck.”

Nice response. It is a shame your intelligence seems only to strecth as far as childish insults.

I feel that Nissan has absolutely failed with their styling of late. Merely my opinion and last time i checked, i am entitled to it.

If you are going to debate it, then debate it. If you are going to take a stab at everyone who has a say, its back to primary school to do some growing up my friend.

WOW, even Toyota doesnt make anything that ugly!

Whats with Nissan design? They seem to be making the fugliest cars lately…Tiida, 370 and now this abomination!

Its bad enough we have to put up with all those bland Toyotas on the road without having to see ugly Nissans. Thank god Ssangyong might be about to bite the dust.

Man, I wish they’d sell the Infinity FX40 & FX50 here. Never mind the Murano and its smashed-crab looks – the FX is a gob-smacker. Goes like the clappers too with 300kW of 5.0-litre V8. (Drinks a bit too, but hey – who doesn’t?)

That is a very ugly car, even more so than the last generation Murano. Interior looks nice though, really similar to Infiniti.
