I like the fact that they duct-taped the front brand symbol

And what's up with that duct tape around the car? Have posted other spy pics of this car with the same tape on it.

It's a COMPACT. IMHO, I think the Murano design looks more upscale than this... Also, glad to see PDG is making a comeback.

I don't think you guys (as a whole) have liked anyhting new that's come out recently. This thing looks great.

Ugly, the new Murano is a very nice looking truck though. The interior has some G35 parts FYI.

in PA, it'll probably be categorized as a station wagon (like minivans with side-back windows, suvs, etc.) .

i think it's alright, except the interior.

it'll probably sell though. Glad i have nissan stock...i'm up 65% to date!

whoever took those pictures should've just taken the duct tape off. i'm sure it's not rigged to the alarm.

Agreed. They did not. On the other hand, I have liked most of the things we saw lately and I started thinking it's me. Guess not.

i'm more curious as to why its in an apartment complex. Since they're trying to disguise the car by taping it, its likely that it belong to a designer/engineer and not a buyer. Are they not getting paid enough these days??

oh ya - and the car/suv/van or whatever they call it doesnt look too shabby. Looks exactly like a standing m45 from the front shot and overall it reminds me alot of rx300

This car looks exactly like the Nissan Moreno which I am sure it is based on. The first Morenos arrived at the dealerships in the Philly area on Friday 13th. I saw one that night, it looked pretty cool with big 18s, nicely loaded with everything except navi, stickered at 34,314.

looks not bad, the Murano is FUCKING hot, so I'm sure the Infiniti version will be nicely appointed.

Gabriel / gavriil - Nice work! You're the man, err woman, err photog. I'll have to check out the Murano on nissan's website to compare, but in the meantime I'm a bit worried. While the interior (except for the contrived Infiniti clock low on the center dash) and huge wheels look really good, the front end seems like it might look better with larger headlights.

Someone on the RS4 thread hit the nail on the head ... wagons / estate cars are hot because they handle like a car and haul like a SUV. Sitting higher up is nice, but so is not tipping over. When it's premium petrol, gas mileage is appreciated - at least on my budget. SUVs certainly have a purpose, but they're don't excite me the way a high performance car does. Where's my 540i 6spd Touring?!

I feel the same way about SUV handling but I think that they are getting better and better. My 2001 RX300 Silversport came with the Euro Spec suspension that Lexus is using for that SUV in Europe and it makes a BIG difference in handling as compared to the normal RX suspension which the rest of the 99.9% of RXs have out there.

I bet this SUV will ride nice with that V8 from the Q45. Should be in the mid to low 7s for the 0-60. Not bad.

Anyone know how much they'll be going for?

It looks weird as hell, but I'd probably consider a black on black one with chrome 22s.
