came out today...yawn!! 170hp weakling of an engine to move 7 passengers with such a heavy vehicle? Are they kidding? Wait till you try to drive that uphill (and we have a lot of mountain passes here in California) the thing is going to suck! It will barely move, it's a dog!!
They should've put in a 250hp turbo option for those that want more pep.
I'm thinking 0-60 in the 11-12 second range...zzzz, you may be able to pass a few Geo Metros though

I used to own a 2009 Rogue and thought is was kinda weak (slow) now it appears that the new one will be even weaker ... I do like the style though and the car seems well equiped for the price.
I have a 2012 with the same power train and with the cvt the engine screams from a start under moderate acceleration due to the cvt keeping it at high rpms until u reach optimal speed. I can imagine the noise coming from the power train of the new model with a full cab.
Looks like I'll be looking into either the new cx5 or Sante fe once it's time to turn this one in. Even the base Sante fe comes equipped with 190hp and it looks very attractive. Nissan will sell tons of these due to its low pricing but I'll be looking elsewhere.
Styling wise, I prefer this over the CRV and the RAV4
This I agree with. The crv is just plane ugly and oddly proportioned. I prefer the 2012 body to the newer 2013. As for the new rav4. It looks like a tall Corolla. I'd take the previous generation v6 any day.
I always liked the Rogue, but would never consider it for Nissan using a CVT. They don't work, period.
I forsee a lot of problems with CVTs overheating and going into limp home mode when a family of 7 packs in it, loads up their luggage and goes on a road trip.

I don't even see them making it to this point in this small cuv.

I dont think the cvt is the problem more so than the rogue being underpowered which makes the tranny work that much harder. The v6 Nissans such as the Maxima and murano feel pretty good and have adequate power compared to the rogue's 4cyl. A cuv w/awd that seats 7 and only 170hp isnt gonna cut it especially when mated to a noisy cvt.
