At some point in the crush of the news cycle, Nissan unveiled an all-new Rogue for 2014, based off their new CMF platform. The Rogue will still retain 4-cylinder power, but will now seat seven, moving up a class size. But for those who want something smaller, Nissan’s got something for you as well. The old Rogue.

The old car will be renamed the “ Rogue Select” and priced at under $20,000 starting in January. The Rogue Select will continue to be imported from Japan, while the 2014 Rogue will be built at factories in Tennessee and South Korea. Both factories will be required to meet demand for the new car, which is expected to sell 150,000 units annually.

    Since this new Rogue looks quite a bit like the Altima and uses Altima components, I suspect that the next Murano will look quite a bit more like the next Maxima....

    Funny, take the chromed V off the front, and you've got a Saab 9-2X, or something.

    I really have no idea how on earth the Rogue outsells Mazda's CX-5. The Mazda is just so much better in so many ways. Personally, I wouldn't buy either of them though, but I'm not a CUV kinda guy either.

    This is not the first time Nissan has done this. In Canada the boxy 2nd gen late-80s Sentra soldiered on throughout the 90s as the low-buck "Sentra Classic", selling alongside the posher (relatively) 3rd gen Sentra. Speaking of which, Mexico still has the 3rd gen (too bad there's no SE-R): http://www.nissan.com.mx/autos/tsuru
