Looks like a blend of alot of Nissan's current models. Moreso towards the 350Z.

 

[andre]

I agree with naddie....then again, it doesn't hurt.

 

[sentrastud]

So far...there are rumours that they may put the CVT Tranny in the 04 Max, and maybe the FX 45...I'm not sure...we'll just have to wait and see.

imagine saying to someone "quick, downshift to 5th!"

 

[Middy]

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.

 

[naddie]

Is it going to replace the Pathfinder?

Hmm... wasnt there another SUV Nissan offer?

 

[stealthb14]

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).

[sentrastud]

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)

My Bad

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
