Nissan has just announced updated pricing information on its smallest crossover, the Rogue. New for 2010 is a so-called 360° Value Package that adds such niceties as 16-inch aluminum wheels, privacy glass, auto-dimming rearview mirror with rearrview monitor, rear spoiler and chrome grille. At $1,040, the Value Package saves you a cool thousand bucks over the cost of these items if purchase separately.
Base versions of the Nissan Rogue will run $20,340 – a reasonable increase of $1,090 over the CUV's starting price in 2008 – its first year on the market – and stepping up to an all-wheel drive model will cost you $21,540. A top-of-the-line Rogue SL AWD with 17-inch alloys begins at $23,130. All Rogue models come standard with the same powertrain: a 170-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine mated up to a CVT automatic transmission. Want to know more?

I'm still not a fan of the 'melting look' phenomenon that has struck car design in recent years.

Agreed, takes just as much money to design a pretty car as it does a foul one.
Farmboy 12:54PM (8/29/2009)
I agree. But the interior is worse. It looks so dull and boring on the inside. Like you have no self-esteem enough to treat your eyes well at all with a half-decent interior.

I agree with Farmboy. The interior of this thing looks like something of a GM interior circa mid 90's. Cheap looking is an understatement. The Ford Escape while also having a hard plastic interior on the major panels, looks 100x better than this

It's just so........ugly.

I agree on the interior too, so depressingly dull and devoid of any type of styling.

If I am doing my math right that's about a 5% increase in price. That is not reasonable in my own opinion.

OH LOOK $1000 OFF THAT PACKAGE! And all we've done is jack up the base price by the same $1000...
How is this reasonable at all?

I didn't expect more from Nissan. That interior is right down there with Chrysler's. Looks like its made by Rubbermaid.

Sit in it and make that comparison. I agree that Nissan interiors have very little style, but they use some of the highest quality materials in the affordable segment. Chrysler interiors, on the other hand, are actually worse in person once you feel the surfaces and use the knobs/switches/stalks.

Exactly, I can get pass the front design, but that nissan sentra/dodge caliber interior has got to go. Just look at the Tiguan, Escape, CR-V and Equinox, now those are really nice interior design.

Check out that interior :x

The base model has only gone up $120 between 2009 and 2010. That's pretty reasonable.
Last year's price increase of $800? Not so much.

Looks better than the Honda CR-V.

If I needed something in this segment I can maybe get along with the retarded-looking front end of the Rogue, and the interior is okay, but the CVT kills it again. Every time I rent a Nissan and it had one of those I absolutely hate it. Till Nissan makes a real trannie a no- or low-cost option I'll keep their cars off my shopping list.

Right! I hate the CVT,too.
Ligor 1:42PM (8/29/2009)
that's the same for me
but when it came time for my wife to chose between the Edge and the Murano, she choose the Murano specifically because she loved the fact that the CVT is invisible in it's transition
now she also prefered the styling of the Murano inside and out, but I was trying to push her to go with Ford - she said it's not her fault Nissan made the better car that fits her

I Like the Vaule packger....but what else did they change looks the exact same to me....

Not sure, I think the Value package was it. I assume the price adjustment was due to inflation or some underlying cause that we don't know about....yet
