Because they made too many LE's and they are priced at 40k+. Most want an SL so demand dictates less discount. Lots of SL's last year -- no one was shopping but people are lusting after muranos = less discounts. There are still LE's with 5-7k off.

I think the reason SL Muranos are the most popular is because they are betweem the S and LE models. And you can load the SL up with different upgrade packages that come very close to everything the LE models have to offer for a lower price. The other reason is and do get me wrong because I have to admitt the 20" wheels look hot on the LE models but I have heard reports on the 20" wheels causing vibration problems on the Muranos.

Driving home from AC.On AC expressway-accident.Eliminated highway .Got Rt 322.Great.Got out of Bally's-make left turn after voice prompt and received new prompt:"drive apprx 8 miles and than keep left"!In apprx 1 mile the yellow road on the screen -one which shows you where you are and where you are suppose to go shows me an immediate right turn.Yes--looking right-big sign-Rt.322-my eyes not lying.What the hell!I pushed the voice prompt button-and it is saying this-"drive apprx 7 miles and than keep left"!!!!.How is is possible that voice prompt does not correspond with the map guidance!I do prefer voice prompt not to take my eyes off the road-but this one is simply obscene.7 miles straight and than keep left-I would be driving right into Atlantic Ocean. Unbeliavable.My wife started to check Lexuses-interesting how much I will loose on this Murano?

I am wondering why you don't have your navigation system checked out at the dealership where you purchased your Murano from you should still be under warranty. You can also update your Navigation system with NAVTEQ and get the latest updates so maybe you can give them a call. Their toll free phone nunber is: 888-628-6277. Hopefully this will let you keep your Murano instead of going to Lexus. If not we will miss you but but not your complaining.

Advice on the 2009 Murano, please?

I drive a 2005 Murano and I love it - but it's time for something newer. I'm shopping around for a new car lease deal, and I've looked at the 2009 Murano, and frankly I don't like the interior detailing (or exterior colors) as well as my 2005! Is there anyone who is absolutely in LOVE with the new model - and can you tell me what the selling features are?

Get the LE in a light color like beige. Looks fantastic with the large wheels and silver top rack. Drives and rides unbelievably smooth. Great performance. Have had for two months and get tons of compliments from lookers and riders.

I would like to say that I love my 2009 Murano S. a few months ago a posted a great safety concern (life and death) about the Start/Stop button for the engine and have not heard anyone else make this complaint. If you pull the key fob out and forget to push the Start/Stop button to turn the engine off, it continues to run very quietly.. therefore if you parked in your garage, your house will fill with carbon monoxide and you will die. I have been in touch with Nissan; their advice: "don't forget to push the button." Funny. If you leave your headlights on, there is a reminder noise. if you don't close a door, the remote will not lock the car... if you leave the engine on, you will die.... so be aware...

WOW! I'd call that a major safety issue - as automated as they have everything else, you'd think Nissan would come up with a way to prevent this happening - like automatic shutoff after 30 seconds or something...
Thank you for sharing.

I loved loved LOVED my 2006 Murano, but my lease was up. I painfully shopped for a new car for almost 3 months before deciding on the 2009 Murano LE. Nothing I test drove came close enough to the luxury and safety I feel in the Murano. That said, I still can't say I'm completely in love with the 09 like I was with my 06, but for wierd reasons--- mostly from my own doing. My 06 was white with beige interior. I decided to spice things up a bit with black/black this time around. Its a lot more work, especially when you have kids, but its one mean looking ride! I believe the interior of the 09 is more luxurious and feels more pulled together, like I'm even more protected than I was in the 06. I was in an accident in the 06, so safety is a BIG selling point for me. I used to tell people the only thing I didn't like about my 06 was that it didn't have one of those cool sunglass holders that pop down out of the ceiling. Well, the 09 has one! there are a few things they changed which boggle my mind, like the door pockets don't pop out now and the little compartment where I used to keep my spare change has now been moved to the other side of the shifter which makes it totally useless to the driver. But seriously, I could (and have) picked apart a lot of other cars for this kind of stuff. I drove several different models from Infiniti, Lexus, Ford, Mazda and Hyundai. When it comes right down to it, the safety and luxury of the Murano, as well as things like the continuously variable transmission, the dual sunroof, rear heated seats, the hard drive that lets you download CD's just blow away the other cars in its class and make it easy for me to overlook the little things that I wish hadn't changed. Hope this helps!
