The Rogue is brand new for 2008 - a whole new model in a segment Nissan has never competed in before. Fortunately Nissan went all-out, and created the Rogue. Often referred to as a Mini-Murano, the Rogue actually shares a platform with the Sentra. A roomy, comfortable compact Crossover Utility Vehicle, the Rogue is a leader in its class. Not only in power, but fuel economy as well.
