Very "Euro" styled..BMW/LEXUS/MERC ish.

I'd still like to get hold of a Lada Niva...something about that vehicle that I like.

Your first objection is.. the paint color?

Just read a story about white taking over silver as the favorite color.They also said brown is making a big comeback.

Didn't they have the same designer? He moved to Nissan after Isuzu died.IIRC

I had always heard that... But from what I can tell, Simon Cox (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Cox_(car_designer)) is still at GM. I'm not sure where the Murano's lines came from.

Yes, same designer went over to Infiniti/Nissan, after designing the VX with Isuzu.

Look at the rear skid plate of the early Murano's...It's the same one as a VX...maybe a little change.

It just sounds better Brown Murano than A Murano that is brown.

Of course if you look at the data Black, white and silver are within 1%. And Brown is growing. But when you have a starting point of zero it is EZ to grow. Also its not just brown but metalic and custom browns

I always thought white was #1 because of all the fleet vehicles(police cars,city vehicles,ect)

I wonder if it can be lifted and the engine modified easily!

The exterior design is terrific and you can tell the car has a mix of current nippon and euro SUV's

The interior can be a bit better from what i can see from the pics

If lada ultimately put in to production they better drop a nice V6 engine in there paired with a 5 or 6 speed transmission and AWD Otherwise it will be all a fail
