Nissan Murano attracts the best in pop

NEW REG FEATURE: TOP UK band Blue's lead singer Duncan James chose a Nissan Murano 3.5 V6 to drive from venue to venue during their recent UK tour and probably beyond that too.

The Best of Blue tour started in Sheffield in July and took in seven cities with the grand finale taking place over three days at Wembley Arena on July 7-9.

Duncan said: "I first spotted the Murano while in the States and thought it looked great.

"When I heard they were now available in the UK I just had to have one. So he went out and bought one just like that!"

Nissan's Murano is a crossover between 4x4 and a luxury saloon.

It first went on sale in December 2002 across the pond and UK sales started in March 2005.

Already more than half this year's allocation has been sold.

With the standard specification on the Murano being so high 18 inch alloys, a Bose stereo, a colour rear-view camera, leather upholstery, a DVD satellite navigation system, and xenon headlamps are just a few of the standard features Duncan didn't have to spend ages choosing what to have.

There is however one optional extra available a DVD player.

Duncan wasted no time ordering one for his car.

Powered by the same 3.5-litre V6 engine as the 350Z to give sub nine seconds acceleration to 62mph, the Murano is priced at a very reasonable £29,995.

Yes, even celebrities can spot value when they see it.
