Front looks more of murano to me. Paul, cud u get the rear photos or at least the interior?. Any ideas on the powerhorse specification ? . By the way Hundai Getz Cross can't be classified as an SUV.

Thats my point, everyone is making a murano this days. Those who drive this kind of SUV are either too scared to drive normal cars, or too lazy too. Driving this kind of vehicle is a lot easier than normal sedan's. So far the best I've seen is Mazda's SUV, the other one is Lambo's SUV.

I'd rather have the Lotus APX on the road than a mutated 4WD Savvy. LOL! By the way, as I look at this picture, I get the same impression as when I look at the Volvo XC90 for the 1st time. Very macho and manly! And I would prefer this Ford than the Mazda CX-7. Mazda front looks funny to me. Paul, if you could post bigger and more pictures, hehe....
