I have posted some scans from a magazine that featured the Murano. These are some of the early concepts for the exterior and interior.

My apologies if these have been seen before. I have others if anyone is interested.

Ferio, The origin of Murano's design fascinates me--it's so new and exciting, just fun to drive and be in. I have often wanted to hear from "the designer", that is, a recounting of the history and plans that went into this design. Do Nissan designers get to become famous names like our other celebrities? If so, he'd have a follower in me! It would be great if the designer went on tour aroung the country of if there was a TV show along these lines! MOjoe

Boy, I thought I had seen ALL the Murano pics, but hadn't seen those compilation sets. Thanks Ferio!

I had not seen these yet. Very cool!

 

[jaak]

Yeah, it makes me wonder just how many sketchs they did to get there... Some of those ideas are really cool!

 

[Ferio]

I have a few more - plus early sheet metal prototype photos. Will post over weekend.

And photos of the designer and design team.

Thanks Ferio!

 

[jaak]

That would be really cool!

I wonder if they have any idea how much we'd like to buy them all a drink... Well except for the people that spec'd in the alternator.

Many thanks to you Ferio!

 

[Eric L.]

Very cool. Not a surprise, considering that fly daddy with the white jacket in the front of the first picture - how could he not design an interesting car?

Got some more but going out driving for the afternoon.
