The sweet ride for today (and sorry I have been slacking on the sweet rides, busy weekend!) is the Nissan Murano. My friend has one and this is the perfect SUV if you are a tall person, tons of headroom and footroom (is footroom even a word??). Production of this fine vehicle started in 2002 when the Murano was introduced to an eager public. The Nissan Murano was nominated for the North American Truck of the Year award in 2003, which is kind of a big deal. The 2010 Nissan Murano got a really great safety evaluation for front, side and rear impacts, especially side collisions. I really like the steering wheel controls, its nice to have full control over the stereo especially if you have a finger happy passenger. Cold climate owners will love the heated seats as it really does make a huge difference in winter.
And, as usual a link to the official wiki if your interested in more info on the Nissan Murano.
