I had always heard that... But from what I can tell, Simon Cox is still at GM. I'm not sure where the Murano's lines came from.

Yes, same designer went over to Infiniti/Nissan, after designing the VX with Isuzu.

Look at the rear skid plate of the early Murano's...It's the same one as a VX...maybe a little change.

Of course if you look at the data Black, white and silver are within 1%. And Brown is growing. But when you have a starting point of zero it is EZ to grow. Also its not just brown but metalic and custom browns

I always thought white was #1 because of all the fleet vehicles(police cars,city vehicles,ect)

Looks kinda like some of the early Isuzu concepts.

I wonder if it can be lifted and the engine modified easily!

The exterior design is terrific and you can tell the car has a mix of current nippon and euro SUV's

The interior can be a bit better from what i can see from the pics

If lada ultimately put in to production they better drop a nice V6 engine in there paired with a 5 or 6 speed transmission and AWD Otherwise it will be all a fail
