2009s ?

[lectricbasser]

Does anyone know when the 2009 rogues will be coming out? I'm saving up for a down payment right now and would love to know when to expect the 2009s and also the features of the 2009s.

This way I can decide whether I want to wait to get a 2009, or use the knowledge of 2009's coming in so I can get a lower price on a 2008.

Thanks all!

[boooey]

didn't the 08's just come out like 3-4 months ago??

[lectricbasser]

Yes I suppose so, but with Nissan already coming out with a 2009 Murano, I wasn't sure what to think about when a new Rogue would be coming out.

prolly end of summer

Nissan skipped the 2008 Murano to redesign it, which explains why it came out when it did.

Ah thanks for the info!

same thing with the Pontiac Vibe/Toyota Matrix... they stopped production on 2008 models, and rolled out 2009's already in Feb

But there are still 2008 Vibes, they didn't skip it altogether. The 2008 Vibes have been out since last summer.

correct, but they stopped making them as of 4th quarter last year to focus on the 2009 models

I think we'll see 2009s in June/July. Hopefully by May we'll learn what changed (likely not much). Of course they'll add auto climate control to make me happy.

[Eikon]

My best guess would be Sept/Oct range for the '09's.

And you can bet that people from Nissan have been keeping an eye on our forum for suggestions for improvements.

Maybe they'll give us that auto climate control, or take care of the wind noise some complain about in the back seat, etc...

I think we should fine BrianV every time he speaks and doesn't mention auto climate control.

I'm going to add it as a signature; this way I'll never be fined!!!

I always wonder if they actually check out forums with any seriousness (if at all).

You bet they do!

What better way for Nissan to keep the pulse of the consumer than internet forums. NICOclub (Nissan Infinity Car Owner's club) is the largest and we don't require membership to read the forums. So you can bet they keep a good eye on what we have to say.

I know Pontiac/GM does on the Vibe forum I'm on because they've profiled several members they found on the forum, in their magazine.

I know it's a good way to do marketing, but that doesn't mean they're actually doing it.

Ok, well Pontiac needs their head examined. They need to visit other forums and watch how people make fun of the Vibe and its ridiculous styling.

Okay I loved my Vibe and most Vibe owners do, so to each his own. There's no need to slam it just because you don't like it.

i just bought a 2009 Vibe also for my wife.. for a car under 19k it has more features than my Rogue does.. its a great deal

XMOnstarAuto headlights/running daytime lights115v power inverterHas 5 adjustable headrests (not sewn into the seat like the Rogue)

all of this is standard equipment now, its an extremely practical car

don't get me wrong though.. i still love my Rogue more

Have you been to (or are you a member) Genvibe.com? check it out if not... I'm a moderator there.

yup, i am a member there also.. you prolly read my wife's thread there.. we were the ones who bought the 2009 in fla

[Cristen]

Ah yes, i posted to that thread about the back end. I thought that might be you guys when I checked your location. I have a thread on the Rogue there in the Others forum.

[BrianV]

I apologize, for some reason I thought you guys were talking about the Pontiac Aztek; I had a mental fart.

I hope you can now see why I said what I did. The Aztek is the ugliest thing I've ever seen, and I doubt Pontiac can stomach reading the feedback of that car from internet forums.

The Vibe is completely different; my bad, but the fact that the Vibe came from the same company almost scares me (kidding).
