#11 of 616 boo hoo by jmpage2 Nov 16, 2007 (9:24 am)
Waaah. All I hear are complaints. It's still a very classy looking car and the mild aesthetic improvements will likely be more striking in person than in photos.   The Rogue looked "awful" in photos but looks quite good in person.   You guys are far too harsh.   This is going to sell like hot cakes, especially if Nissan doesn't substantially increase the pricing. One of the key things they've done is seriously beef up the features to surpass what current $35K competitors are doing in the crossover segment;   1. New 70% rear differential power with new CVT transmission.   2. Heated, telescoping steering wheel available   3. Bluetooth touch screen navigation and POWER rear folding seats available. New touchscreen AND voice navigation with rear view camera available.   4. Power rear hatch available.   5. Heated front AND rear seats. The Acura MDX with this feature costs $47K.   6. Xenons now available along with standard LED rear lamps.   7. Traction control and stability track now standard.   The Murano is packing a LOT for under $40K. I can't wait to see final option pricing. Replies to this message: reddevil4 (May 25, 2008 8:53 pm)
#12 of 616 New model up at nissan by jmpage2 Nov 19, 2007 (8:18 am)
www.nissanmotors.com has a nice flash site covering many of the new Murano features. No pricing yet, but they will have to release that info soon if these are going to be at dealers in 8 weeks.   My own personal prediction is that fully loaded, the top of the line model will sticker for $37K which will include all the goodies, including the new panoramic moon roof, front/rear heated seats, 20 inch rims, MP3 jukebox with iPod hook up, etc, etc, etc.   If it does sticker around $37K we will use our VIP discount to get one for slightly over invoice next spring.

#13 of 616 price by achadha1 Nov 19, 2007 (10:03 am)
I just priced out a 2007 with all options and it priced out at 41k I am thinking with all the new gadgets the 2009 will push up to 43k which is in MDX territory. That would not be good for Nissan since Acura offers a better warranty and better service along with 3 row seating. The murano has some features not on the MDX such as the hard drive and bird's eye view NAV and bigger entertainment screen but I would probably go for the MDX in that price range Replies to this message: achadha1 (Nov 19, 2007 10:45 am) jmpage2 (Nov 19, 2007 3:51 pm) achadha1 (Nov 19, 2007 8:55 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: achadha1 (Nov 19, 2007 10:45 am) When I price out Murano SE with all options it comes to just under $40K. I'm not sure about the rear DVD system. My dealer told me that they hardly ever sell Murano with those as it's not really a vehicle that is popular in that sort of soccer mom niche.   Comparitively, to get an MDX with RSE, Navi, rear heated seats, etc, is $48K. Still quite a bit more and the MDX lacks some of the new features such as keyless entry/starting, heated steering wheel, dual pane moonroof with power shades, power up rear seats, etc. Murano also gets substantially better gas mileage than MDX.   I think that MDX and Murano are sort of in two seperate segments. RDX is probably a closer Murano competitor as it goes for $37K sticker with the Nav/Tech package. Replies to this message: achadha1 (Nov 19, 2007 8:55 pm) akubik (Dec 06, 2007 7:27 pm)

Replying to: jmpage2 (Nov 19, 2007 3:51 pm) i am currently in a 2003 Murano i purchased back in feb of 2003. I lov the car overall and am looking to get into something new soon. The mdx is a nice car and all, but the price is just too steep for me. If the murano can stay under 40k new I will definitely get it or maybe get a one year old MDX for around 39k if i am lucky. I cant seem to find anything else to my liking. The Pilot will not be coming until next summer, the Highlander is just too boring looking and I won't even look at non Japanese. Looking at the Murano there are many changes to the interior that I love but the exterior looks too close to the second. If i pulled up to a friends place and bought the same color 2009 Murano would they be able to tell the difference? Replies to this message: akubik (Dec 06, 2007 7:27 pm)
#17 of 616 gas mileage by achadha1 Nov 20, 2007 (9:32 pm)
any word on gas mileage for the new murano i currently am getting about 18 only on a 03.. Replies to this message: jmpage2 (Nov 26, 2007 7:27 am)

Replying to: achadha1 (Nov 20, 2007 9:32 pm) I wouldn't expect the new Murano to have substantially different mileage than the current model. The new Murano makes use of aluminum in the suspension which probably cuts the weight a bit, but that weight is probably gained back in all the extra gadgets found in the newer vehicle.

Replying to: goatee (Nov 16, 2007 7:24 am) Wow! What a nice set of improvements all around. The grillework, while revised, didn't mess up an already-original style, going from vertical to horizontal taillights seems to be the trend and that's the only change I don't think was necessary. Inside and out, enough good reasons to swing a new set of buyer Nissan's way. I like the fact that, except for the taillights in my opinion, they didn't mess up what wasn't broken. Can't ask for much more than that.

Replying to: achadha1 (Nov 19, 2007 8:55 pm) I'm in the same boat as you. MDX are selling near invoice. A base, which comes pretty loaded (leather, better AWD, bluetooth, 7 pass, zenon lamps, 300HP) is about $37k. I had a dealer in San Diego quote me $750 over invoice on a base 2008 MDX after one email, I'm sure he'd go down to invoice. It is a very competitive segment. The Murano is nice, but the MDX has more panache (if status works into your equation, and it does for most people spending over 30K on a vehicle, the Murano is to paralegal, as the MDX is to lawyer.   They both take premium gas, so its going to be a very close call. The grill on the Murano looks like cheap plastic, like the last model, where as on the MDX it is made of sturdy metal. Little things like that add up to make the MDX an overall better value in my opinion.   The Murano might have a better price after you add NAV and DVD, but 99% of people don't need that, and overpay dealy for it. THink about it, you're going to spend an extra $2000 for a 9" screen in your car when you can buy a 50" plasma HD screen for you house or office for the same money. Unless you are a realtor or salesman, how often do you think you really need the NAV. The engine, transmission, warranty, safety, and fuel economy count most for me.
