2009 Nisaan Murano (updated with MMC facelift)
An evolutionary redesign. Not a bad thing since the current model still looks great.

The Murano opened the doors to crossovers and just remember they way you looked at it when it first came out. I'm not going to lie I thought it looks hideous when I first saw it four years ago but now I think its one of the nicest crossovers. Give it time and some of you will rethink your opinion.....but IMO Nissan took a big risk from a design prespective.

I like the look of the older version better. It was futuristic looking already, and the new one is very highly stylized. Besides aesthetics, I'm pretty sure the new Murano will have a lot of new evolutionary techie toys.
By the way, does it share the same platform as the EX/FX?

You can't really tell from those pics, but just like with the G, it doesn't look that much different IMO. I'm heading down to the auto show in Miami tomorrow. Hopefully they'll have one of these on display to take a closer look at.
