Replying to: mikelevine64 (Jan 08, 2007 12:02 am) First of all its spelled the Nissan Rogue, not Nissan Rouge. If a host could fix that it would be great.   I like how Nissan is offering a similar sized alternative to the Xterra and from whatever I see the Rogue has everything it needs to compete. I'd choose it over everything in its class except maybe for the RAV4 and Equinox/Torrent because of their powerful engines and performance. Just gotta say I don't like the name Rogue much.   Some Rogue links.   http://www.leftlanenews.com/2006/12/28/2008-nissan-rogue/   http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Features/articleId=118987

Replying to: mikelevine64 (Jan 08, 2007 12:02 am) The Rogue looks like a definite contender. The styling seems quite nice, it's made by a manu with a great track record, and apparently it will have all the same available options (nav, high-end sound system, leather interior, etc.) as the Murano.   One thing I don't like? The estimated pricing. From what I've read, it's likely to start at $27K for a base, 2WD (ouch!) and go up to $38K for one that is fully-loaded. Is Nissan joking? With new contenders from Mitsubishi and Hyundai, Nissan needs more competitive pricing if it wants this truck to become a strong seller.

Replying to: mikelevine64 (Jan 08, 2007 12:02 am) This vehicle is ugly. I guess thats in the eye of the beholder but it is my opinion. It looks like a Hyundai. I'm sure those prices are wrong as that is exactly where the Murano plays. I don't think the CR-V is an attractive vehicle either but it is much better looking than this thing. The Rav4 seems to have the right combination of performance, looks, and quality.
#5 of 481 I'm Hoping by jchan2 Jan 14, 2007 (4:39 pm)
that it will be priced right, especially as it is only being offered with the 2.5 engine. The CR-V only comes with a 4 cylinder and stickers for anywhere between $21 and $28K, and if Nissan is going to start at $27K and go from there, people will either a) just buy a Murano or b) go straight to the Honda or Toyota dealer and pick up a CR-V or RAV4.   It doesn't help that the Hyundai Tuscon can be had for less than $27K either...

Replying to: mrmister2000 (Jan 10, 2007 6:05 pm) From what I've read, the Rogue will start at about 20k and go to 25k loaded. It's a good choice for those who like the Murano but want something a little smaller, cheaper and with better MPG.
#7 of 481 Rogue mpg by twain Jan 16, 2007 (10:31 pm)
After reading about the 2007 Altima, I'm feeling good about the Rogue. The Altima with the 2.5 4cyl and the CVT is rated 26/34 mpg. Given the Rogue's extra weight, if it can manage 22/30, I'll be happy. About the only other non-hybrid small crossover to hit the 30 mark is the Honda CRV.   And the 2.5 is a good performer. The Rogue may turn out to be a strong entry in the small crossover field.

Replying to: mrmister2000 (Jan 10, 2007 6:05 pm) Regarding the price, I've read everywhere that the price will start at $20K. That would be a joke if it starts at $27K. But I wonder if it will actually have a nav available. There was no mention of it from what I read.

#9 of 481 $20K by jchan2 Jan 19, 2007 (8:49 pm)
sounds more reasonable, especially if it'll only carry the 2.5 engine... That'll make it closer to the CR-V than RAV4, considering that the RAV4 offers a V6 and a third row while the Rogue and CR-V do not...
#10 of 481 CRV Competition by mikelevine64 Jan 19, 2007 (9:58 pm)
Looks like Nissan is positioning the Rogue as direct competition against the CR-V & the 4Cyl RAV4.   I like the style of the Rogue, Not that crazy with the CR-V front end, & Hate the back door with tire on the Rav4 !
