I still long for my Discovery which was like a fish bowl. The Murano resembles a WWII bunker ... small peek holes! And yeah ... I know. They should be in crates. I'm a bad mom!

Yes. 2.0 ridgebacks and enough luggage for 2 notorious over-packers, comfortably :) "Handling seems a little on the wallowy side, somewhere between the sportiness of a cross-over like the Acura RDX and the smoothness of a land yacht like tthe Volvo XC90." Personal preference, I'm sure, but I'd take the Murano any day over the stiff and unmanagable Volvo. Of course ... at our house, we still dream of the Range Rover and the Porsche Cayenne “Does anybody really use these pretty, upscale SUVs for doing anything except impressing other people and hauling 1.7 kids to soccer?”
