Well, coming out of a 360-cubic-inch gas swilling Dodge Durango, I couldn't wait to put the Murano into some snow. Had three-inches of snow, plus below-freezing temps. this weekend in West "By God" Virginia. I have to tell ya, the damned Murano did quite well. Took it out in the country yesterday to Flat Run, by the Fairmont #9 mine disaster memorial -- quite a few boys out there in orange, walking into the woods, decked out in orange for a little deer hunting. Every one of these guys driving an old Ford, Chevy or Dodge pickup. Looking at me coming by in the black Murano, I am sure they were scratching their heads saying, "What in the hell is that thing?" - Jim
