Looking for a family SUV? Don't want the neighbors asking 'which one that is'? If so, you needn't look much further than the eyeball-popping Nissan Murano. It's just had a redesign- and for 2009, Murano's glorious victory of oddball styling over conventional taste has remained. It isn't easy to get talked about when you're a semi-premium crossover these days, so any attention is good attention- even if it's for being weird looking.

Nissan Motor Co.'s luxury Infiniti brand is offering zero-percent financing for 36 months on all 2008 models to help consumers sidelined by the credit market squeeze, the automaker said today.

Nissan has reported a 19% fall in its European October sales over the same month last year, although sales for the year to date remain ahead of 2007.

2009 Nissan 370Z

Enough with the teaser shots, already! Courtesy of the automaker, this is our first look at the 2009 Nissan 370Z.

Seven years after the debut of the 350Z, the Z-car is thoroughly re-worked both inside and out for 2009. We're perhaps excited most by the mechanical change implicated by its nomenclature - lurking underhood is the 3.7-liter VQ37VHR V-6 that also powers the Infiniti G37. Nissan's not released specs on what the motor produces in Z-tune, but it manages to pump out 330 hp and 270 lb-ft of torque in the G37 - 24 ponies more than the 350Z's 3.5-liter V-6.
