They ruined the Murano with the 2nd gen. It's overpriced and ugly!

I honestly don't know how they could possibly make the new car look like a predecessor. The taillights look cheap, and the front needs the entire sun to let it shine.

Very few SUVs and SUTs are actually sold with V6 diesels. Toyota (Prado, 4Runner, Fortuner, Hilux), Nissan (Pathfinder, Xterra, Navara), Mitsubishi (Challenger, Pajero, L200), Isuzu (D-Max), and others all come with 4 cylinder turbo diesels. The Toyotas in particular are very smooth with the sweetest turbine whistle you will ever hear from a diesel! I kid you not. Music to my ears!
