I heard it will be a complete re-design.
Thanks. L

My wife and I are in the very preliminary stages of looking for a vehicle to replace her Infiniti FX which comes off of lease in a year. The Murano is on our list as it seems to get favorable reviews and I get a nice employee discount on Nissan vehicles.
The main complaints with the FX are how stiff the ride is (it's stiffer than my sports suspension equipped A4).
I'm a bit nervous that a total re-design of the Murano means new problems and the like, I guess we'll see how it goes over the coming months as more info becomes available.
I really can't imagine purchasing a $35-40,000 vehicle and not getting bluetooth and iPod connectivity. Those are not at the top of the list of features for my wife though. The salesman said that they now have an iPod connectivity kit that could be added, but still no bluetooth. He said that almost all of the Nisson cars have bluetooth, but not the Murano (yet). He said he did not know anything about what was happening, or not happening, with the 2008 model.
Does anyone know if the 2008 Murano will have a bluetooth option?
Thanks in advance!
I've found that just getting a BT headset is FAR better than using your car's BT unit. Yes, dialing is more of a hassle, but I think it's worth it to get better clarity on both ends of the call. JMHO.
I do agree with you on the lack of an ipod or portable MP3 device connection... That was a definite detractor.
Also, anyone have any thoughts on the front vs. all wheel drive?

I really don't like the front end at all..

Additionally it will take the cars anywhere from 8-12 weeks to arrive in the US after assembly in Japan.
The 2009 model is supposed to be shown off at the LA auto show in 11 days. It is supposed to start arriving at dealers for sale in the March/April time frame.
Well this is what I've been told it will be interesting in seeing what really comes out.
I found this on a different forum...very interesting possibility...

There are 5 models of this [2009] Murano testing [near] the NTCNA center here in Maricopa, AZ. I have it on good authority that Numbers 3 and 5 are actually hybrid models, which is why those arent often visible on the city streets. Because it would be heard, or rather NOT heard.
Anyone have any news about this? Thoughts?
Interior seems to resemble the Rogue a little too much. I kinda liked the orange gauges in the other models.
Any new info about a possible Murano hybrid model being released or are these just false rumors???

Here's to hoping that a moderately well equipped Murano will come in at under $40,000.
Ho Hum. Murano was ahead of its time when it first came out.
Not no more.
Disappointed.
How about a telescoping steering wheel?
