Great GMC ADS

These Pop up tag ads try selling you a ford And Header ads want you to buy a GMC.. Geee
It's almost like being 2 faced. If your not happy with one then get GMC. This sure turns me off. So I pick nether and got a Nissan Murano
I wonder how many others feel this way...
Hope I'm not ban for saying this but, I have fought for freedom of speech plus+

No ads here. I'm sure you'll be able to find a Nissan site for your Murano....and get to see the GM and Ford ads there also......

WOW, that's ridiculous. You didn't do much research when you made that decision did ya. Nissans are piles of crap.

I wear a uniform and defend this country, I can't in good conscience turn my back on the country I love and send half my pay check overseas...I only buy Ford or GM and only if they are built here in the USA....

i am a navy veteran and like my ford trucks, but believe me u are not saving the economy by buying an american vehicle anymore, they are not as american as you think and neither is the way the profits get distributed or where the money spent ends up going. if u own a tv, cell phone, computer, microwave, etc. then chances are it is not made in the us and neither is 40% of all goods that are imported from china every year. but i just dont like suv's or cuv's.
they are such stationwagons. i think they look so silly and women usually drive them around. i have even heard some people call them trucks. like "yeah go toss it in the truck" its a stationwagon.
but that 5 speed you put in that f250 is so badass. i wonder if i can adapt something like that into my truck since i am getting a new custom driveshaft soon and the only other thing i'd probly need is a bellhousing and clutch pedal.

For the personal attack on what car, I buy don't seems to be on ones business but my own. Some must have noticed the 100,000 mile or 10yr warranty on the drive train on my Murano. as they researched my vehicle for it's reliability.(some BS walk and talks)
Well 40,000 mile's now on my 2006 trouble free. Oh the only trouble was the Good year Eagle tires coming apart at 12,000 miles. So if you guys like ragging on me it okay. You odd ask what everyone else drives for there 2nd vehicle. I remember when this site started slipping little ads by GM and it became the talk of this site. So it's like it or lump. This site it all Fordddd but with a bxxty call to help pay the bills with GM. Like American make cars with haft & haft parts made in china. The greed of Company's & the stock holders want more. Co's wanting big bucks, all turning to China. Hell GE, GM,f0RD and many other have stuff built in old Mexico but not enough to keep the over flow of illegals coming here. You every think that now America now needs china. Ha now even Autolite spark plugs our being made in china.Well like Danger Dave says most items our a mixture of stuff being made from all over the world.. Buying 100% USA made vehicle is a joke!!
As Paul Harvey use to say GOOD DAY.. my 2cents

Grats on the Murano. There are a few decent Murano forums out there, but the better one has some annyoing ads spaced in the middle of the posts.

The 10/100k warranty on the CVT in all Nissans now is niiiiiiiiice. It's even retroactive, covering every car they've ever made with CVT. It does not cover the remainder of the drivetrain, however, as it was designed to ease fears over a potential costly failures.

The Murano was designed in the US, and is a damn nice car. The frenchy 3.5L has been through its paces now, and although I don't think it's as nice as the old Nissan-built 3.0 it replaced, it does put out a hell of a lot more power.

Buying any car in the US helps the economy as you pay tax and title fees. It's almost impossible to find a 100% US sourced car now, and even if you did, US car firms are global companies, so don't think that money stays here.

My trucks are only Ford. I've also got an Infiniti and a Datsun, so my cars are all Nissan.
