Cutting the Rogue & Murano production? I dont know...
If y'all ate going to cut production, then cut Xterra & Armada production. The Rogue is a great little crossover [my mom has 1]. I've driven it a couple times, and I like the CTV, tho its weird not hearing it shift. The seats are a little stiff, but this little sucker gots pep and its gets 24 mpg. Instead of cutting production, how bout y'all at Nissan get it more exposure! This is the kind of vehicle Ford & GM need, not the Flex or Traverse. Those are made for soccer moms trading down from there Suburbans, Tahoes and Expeditions. As for the Murano, its way too expensive [which makes potential buyers turn away], but its a great crossover as well, as long as ya got some extra money to dish out.

I'm hardly a Nissan fan, but the Rogue is a vehicle i wouldn't mind owning. We've had a couple in the shop, and they look nice, and feel good too. Somehow Nissan avoided giving it the oddly blockish look of the Pathfinder/Titan, and girlish figure of the Murano.
In my corner of the states, Nissan popularity has tanked lately. Other than Altimas, most of their bread n' butter has disappeared it seems. Very few Maximas spotted this past summer. In fact, i can safely say i saw more 350's than Maxima's for a change. Even the Infiniti line is more visible.
