I actually like the murano, but I'd definately have to do something about
that silly looking chromw strip along the nose. However, the CVT that
they've got in there is supposed to make it quite an interesting ride.
Might be worth taking a test drive. A Volvo might be interesting... Not to
mention that they're the safest cars ever.
