The 2015 Nissan Murano showed off its new looks before the world at the 2014 New York Auto Show, and brought some improvements to the table, as well.

The Murano has a 3.5-liter V6 putting 260 horsepower to the front or all four corners through its CVT, weighs 130 pounds less than the outgoing Murano, and should match said crossover in fuel economy at around 18 city/24 highway.

Outside, the crossover boasts Nissan’s new design language, including “boomerang” head- and tail lamps, while the inside proclaims 60 percent less stitching in the upholstery and an infotainment system featuring 11 Bose speakers.

    Did Nissan just out DLO fail the new Camry? That didn't take long. Also, remember when the Murano was a clean, simple and distinctive design? I miss that one.

    I'm realizing from the front this reminds me of a Bulbasaur Pokemon. And I still don't like the overly curved interior panels or the popsicle stick woods. Also, why is the 3.5 in here getting 260HP, when my 09 M with the same engine(!) gets 305HP?

  • ToolGuy Good for them.
  • ToolGuy "I'm an excellent driver."
  • Tassos If a friend who does not care about cars asks me what to buy, I tell her (it usually is a she) to get a Toyota or a Lexus. If she likes more sporty cars, a Honda or a MiataIf a friend is a car nut, they usually know what they want and need no help. But if they still ask me, I tell them to get a Merc or AMG, a 911, even an M3 if they can fix it themselves. If they are billionaires, and I Do have a couple of these, a Ferrari or an even more impractical Lambo.
  • ToolGuy Good for them, good for me.
  • Tassos While I have been a very satisfied Accord Coupe and CIvic Hatch (both 5-speed) owner for decades (1994-2017 and 1991-2016 respectively), Honda has made a ton of errors later.Its EVs are GM clones. That alone is sufficient for them to sink like a stone. They will bleed billions, and will take them from the billions they make of the Civic, Accord, CRV and Pilot.Its other EVs will be overpriced as most Hondas, and few will buy them. I'd put my money on TOyota and his Hybrid and Plug-in strategy, until breaktrhus significantly improve EVs price and ease of use, so that anybody can have an EV as one's sole car.
