December sales figures for the MO were down as compared to last year.
4,199 MOs were sold in December 2007, as compared to 6,831 MOs in December 2006. A decline of 38.5%.
Year-to-date figures on the MO dropped by 6.5%, with 81,362 units sold in 2006 and only 76,358 sold in 2007.
Overall Nissan sales increased by 4.5% in North America. 941,200 cars and trucks were sold in 2007 as compared to 898,103 in 2006.
The smaller and cheaper Rogue (a.k.a. mini-MO) outsold the MO by almost 50% in December - 6,288 (Rogue) vs. 4,199 (MO).
These figures are for Nissan NNA only, and do not reflect other markets.

| Ye, I read these numbers a few days ago. No real surprises, new Murano is coming, Rouge is there....I still think Murano did great job and exceed sales expectations....the new Murano will have a tough time to follow. There is so many crossovers on the market now... |

| The MO competes in a unique class now - sort of the entry level luxury crossover without the luxury nameplate - its natural competitors I think are the Lexus RX350 and the Lincoln MKX. The lack of a third row precludes it from being competitive with family movers like the Highlander, Pilot, or MDX. |

| I thought the Murano did really well in both December and overall for the year, considering that the '07 production must have stopped a few months ago and that the 2009 model was already shown to the public. |
