New Vehicle... '11 Murano LE

Wife is headed tomorrow to pick up a brand new Platinum Graphite 2011 Nissan Murano LE AWD. She has been wanting a Murano for about two to three years and finally got one. Only option not on it is the DVD entertainment package.

Congrats on the new toy.

I drove a Murano for a couple of weeks while my Z was being painted, what a gas guzzler and tank to drive, compared to the Z. I am sure if I was needing this vehicle as a soccer mom mobile the safety factor of this vehicle & it's practicality would be high on my list of cars o drive, safely.
Again congrats

NiSSan FTW!!

I've heard it get "good" gas mileage. A bonus though for 2011 is that it only needs regular octane if that is a concern. I'm more impressed with everything we get with the Murano LE for the price. Plus... It's a Nissan!

Considering the Murano has been out since '03 I would go to say that the Juke looks like a mini-Murano.

I've always like the interior but the rear quarter panel looks off for me... I've driven an 06 and it's very very nice.

Comparing driving a Z to a Murano is just silly.

I'm not too worried about it. The 4cyl Outlander she was driving was getting 18-20 cause she had to floor it every time she needed to get on the hwy. I'm sure the extra tq/hp will help eliminate the need for that. In return get better gas milage.

CongratZ on the new Murano. I have a new "S" model with AWD on order for a company car. Several co-workers have Muranos and they absolutely rave about them. I'm looking forward to taking delivery.

Congratulations on the purchase. I also drove a Murano around for about a week when the Z was in the shop. Very nice ride. Interior was very spacious.
