At first glance, the 2008 Nissan Murano crossover doesn't look a lot different than the 2007 Nissan SUV. Yet look again and you'll see that the new Murano is all-new. The refreshed exterior hides a completely revamped interior, one with materials and features the previous Murano couldn't hope to have. It's all wrapped around new mechanicals too, primarily a new continuously-variable transmission that finally works well with the V-6 engine. The 2009 Nissan Murano doesn't cost much, either, another bonus for cash-strapped families.
