2003 Nissan Murano - Page 2

I'm sad another SUV has been added to the car world, Nissan or not.

When will this end?!?!?

But if another one must come, this one seems decent. At least it's a Nissan and not of Excursion proportions.

Is it going to replace the Pathfinder?

Hmm... wasnt there another SUV Nissan offer?

Yup...Nissan is working on a full size seven seater SUV (probably going to carry the name Pathfinder) to compete with the Pilot, etc. And yes, the Murano is going to take the Pathy's place. This new SUV is going to be built on the same platform as Nissan's new Full size Truck (I believe).

What? I just read in Road and Track today that the Murano will be built on the Altima platform and at $30,000 it will coexist with the Pathfinder (page 44, July 2002)

Nick,

The Pathy and the Murano will be sold side-by-side for a year or two, until the Pathy is redesigned. Nissan's final SUV lineup will be (I think):

Pathfinder (Larger)
Murano
Maybe the X-Trail
Xterra

You're right. I just got back from the Nissan dealer and that's what they told me. He had a picture of the new Pathfinder- looks good- and big. The sales rep told me that it's so big it won't fit in their showroom.

BTW,
I just picked up a new Murano today.

Love it. It's parked right next to my Pontiac GTP.

My wife thinks she's going to take out the GTP in the Murano- just cause it has 245BHP.

Woo! Its good to be right...even if it was almost a year ago.

The murano does look like a blend of the 04 Max and the Z...in a wagon form...plus the beauty of AWD.

Congrats on your purchase 03-Murano!
