BASE PRICE RANGE: $28,750-$38,250*
WHAT'S NEW: Redone for 2009, the midsize Murano (S/SL/LE) gets modest tweaks. Nissan's five-seat FWD/AWD crossover adds a new FWD LE variant and makes Intelligent Key standard on S and SL models. The latter also adds a Vehicle Security System and privacy glass and expands the option list for the SL FWD to include Leather and Moonroof Packages.
BEST BUY: New standards and enhanced upgrade possibilities make the SL an even more attractive value for 2010.
SUM UP: because a lexus rx is boring.
