20104dr SUV 245-horsepower 3.5L V6 Hybrid
6-speed shiftable CVT AWD		The price is very high if compared to a Mazda CX-9, with similar features, similar performances and similar (i guess) reliability
20094dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		more than $12000 more than the Murano with all the same bells and whistles

5-speed automatic AWD		Overpriced
20084dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		all of the above come with a price tag, which, over the long term, balance out with hopefully lower maintenance and operating costs
20064dr SUV 208-horsepower 3.3L V6 Hybrid
CVT AWD		This can be an expensive car. I would never buy one new and while I think there is value for money, I have issues with spending 55k on a car. I bought mine used on Ebay for a great price including shipping and have a friend who has done the same.

2004 4dr SUV 230-horsepower 3.3L V6
5-speed automatic FWD		 Quality of all the materials are good. Compare the lovely wood trim they provide standard with, say, Porsche and the over-a-grand price tag for every item with wood on it. No brainer.
2002 4dr SUV 220-horsepower 3.0L V6
4-speed automatic AWD		 Very soft leather interior and wood trim on dash and steering wheel. Interior has a very upscale look and feel to it.
