    Murano - once again it's proof that Nissan didn't do their homework. Spanish - for filthy vile dirty disgusting Pig. Oops - hey Nissan, not trying to win over the Latin Community here? give me a call if you need some other horrible insulting word to use for naming your cars. ;)

    It also looks like a Matrix/Vibe or any number of hatchbacks.
    I like the Murano looks, but felt it seemed a little too bulky in person. Smaller is good.

    Does this mean we'll get a Leaf coupe convertible.

    It was named after the Murano glass in Italy.

    They did their homework. The Spanish word is "marrano"; the car is "Murano."
