Default Geneva 2008: Nissan Murano

http://www.channel4.com/4car/media/motorshows/2008/geneva/nissan-murano/03-large/nissan-murano-f3q.jpg http://www.channel4.com/4car/media/motorshows/2008/geneva/nissan-murano/03-large/nissan-murano-fs.jpg

Nissan's new-generation Murano SUV looks rather similar to the current model despite the claim that 'every body panel is different.' Nissan promises 'greater comfort and refinement', especially for rear-seat passengers, as well as improved performance and fuel economy.

The Murano's 3.5 V6 petrol engine has been modified to develop 265bhp and 240lb ft, and the CVT gearbox overhauled, giving quicker shift-speeds and responses. Further new features include Nissan's new Scratch Shield paint, with an elastic clear resin which 'repairs' scratches and scrapes. The new Murano arrives on European forecourts in October, with UK sales a little later.

Nissan took a beautiful car and turned it into this abomination. Way to go.

That front three-quarter view isn't doing it any grace, it looks like a catfish without the whiskers.

I've seen a couple on the road here already.
The nose I think I can get used to but it's ass end is downright atrocious (especially the pearl white one I saw).

I love the Murano! This 2nd generation is a bit pointless, although i still love it!

I think the front is trying to be a Civic, but really failing. Though I'm still not convinced by the Civic either. Give me a 70s Civic anyday images/smilies/smile.gif

The first generation was good looking, but that one is awful.
