Curious what the age is of the 2015 Murano owner. Nissan was marketing to empty nesters with an average age of 45 (seems too young to be an empty nester). I'm 39 and own a pearl white platinum w/the optional chrome Nissan wheels.
 
31. Married but no kids (and no plans to have them any time soon).

I read an article that the target for the Murano was not only to be empty-nesters but also young couples. They supposedly envisioned it as a vehicle that could take two couples and their luggage out on a wine-tasting excursion and have enough room to be comfortable and sight-lines to be social during the trip. So those could be empty-nesters or young couples.

Good point... Thanks for the reminder.
 
38 and 35 (wife) we have 1 daughter and hoping to enjoy long vacation trips that Murano is basically made for. For us it's a minivan replacement, but more comfy and quiet ride. More fuel efficient too. I'm comparing it to our TownNCountry that we sold to get Murano. SV Pearl White FWD (but here in Canada SV comes with pan.moonrof, power liftgate, remote start, power seats, heated steering wheel. So it's packed nicely, the only thing missing is 20inch rims (that I am on a fence - since they will make ride a bit harsher and noisier), leather seats and helpers like collision warning and LED low-beams. Not felt like paying $10K more for that, so went with SV.
 
Age 65, kids out of the house, bought used 07 in 2010 replacing 1999 Chevy Blazer. Since sold and replaced with 2008 BMW 328xi E91 Sportwagon with six-speed manual transmission.

The Murano was a great road vehicle - comfortable and decent gas mileage, and had abundant rear seat room whcih transporting kids or friends. It also had better space utilization and storage than the Blazer. I decided that I wanted a vehicle with a higher fun factor in sriding, and the BMW provides it...even at 98K miles when I bought it.
