The Murano got a "good" rating, right up there with the following SUVs in a 40 mph crash test:
Lexus RX330
Infiniti FX
Cadillac SRX
Toyota 4Runner
Chrysler Pacifica
Honda Pilot
Mitsubishi Endeavor
Strangely enough, CNN reported this morning that the Murano received only a "marginal" rating in 5-mph crash tests (parking lot), saying that the bumpers did not protect the more expensive-to-repair-or-replace items like headlights and liftgates. The only SUV that got a "good" rating was the Pilot.

And stranger still... the picture there is definitely of a MO, but the caption calls it a Lexus?!
In that same test, the FX and the Caddy SRX got a "poor"!
