Is this the first time the grille is higher than the headlights on any production car?
The interior looks better with metal trim than wood. Seems to fit the Murano's high-techy theme better.

I'm surprised that they sold any muranos compared to the previous generation. That front end is worse than acuras beak and the update is no better! I don't get this design what so ever.

This car is awesome. One reason is that not many SUVs (or cars for that matter) can allow a V6 engine and a CVT gearbox and an AWD platform to co-exist with each other.
The Murano Z51 does the job well
P.S.
I hope to see if I can test drive one of these things someday
