We just got done trading in our Murano for an '05 Nissan Frontier. It came down to a monthly cost cutting deal (public servant wages you understand) so the decision came easier than expected. The wife...a true Texas lady..has always wanted a truck. Throw in a sunroof and it was all over. I'm gonna miss the bells & whistles that were on the Murano (although I know how some of you feel about that ride despite the fact that its designer and the VX designer are one in the same person). The sole advantage for me is I did not trade down on the power. It still houses the same engine as the Z car and the SUV. Alas-another shining example of life being dictated by checkbook balances.

The VX still wins out and keeps the garage bay :thumbup:

Yea Cyrk..a stock VX against the Murano was a mismatch. The little devil got its doors blown off (215 hp vs 265 hp) by it's big sister. Although Tone's SC ride hammered me pretty good in it.

Joe..I gotta get rid of those 17's and find some 18's with rim upgrades
