But Nissan hasn’t finished blurring class sectors just yet.

Oh, really?

I like the +2 given to the name, clever, but I dunno if I would drive one with that badge .

It looks like a Rogue, but has nothing to do with it I believe. This is why I think the big manufacturers are suffering now, they waste tons of money designing similar models globally instead than designing only one (a-la Mazda) and modding it as appropriate for each market.

No sliding doors. I'm beginning to suspect that the MZ5 sliding door has a patent pending.

, also the fact that it is an SUV, that definitely is a minus in my book...

And it's diesel! I would love to just drive a 2.0D 5 one time...

The Rogue is the North American version of the Qashqai. Dimensions and body lines are the same. Its still just a small car-based SUV, nothing ground breaking IMO.

Kind of, but completely different design, engines, etc. They just share the platform, that was my point. Same SUV approach I agree (notcool)
