So a few months ago I sent the guys at TheFastLaneCar an email telling them that I've seen them take plenty of cars/CUV/SUVs off road and I have not yet seen them take the Nissan Rogue off road. I told them that I owned one and that I believe it has got to have one of the highest ground clearances out of all the compact utes and I think it will do very good off road. I told them that they should get a 2012+ SL AWD to take off road because it has an all around camera system that will help them off road and this car may beat most of the other compact CUVs they've tested, and that I belong to a Nissan forum with a bunch of guys that would tune in to watch the vid....

They sent me an email back stating that they generally don't have control over what model/trim cars they get and that they will see what they can do but there's no telling if they will be able to get one but to stay tuned....

Well upon browsing Youtube today I came across this bad boy............ You're all welcome :cool:

Yeah I know....

In all honesty though, coming from a V6 Honda Accord with balls, to a 4-cyl compact SUV, I myself referred to it as a "chick's car".... I think many people see it that way. Hell, I've even heard people refer to the Murano as a chick's car too so if people think that about the Murano, you know they'll think it about the Rogue

to much damn talking, and not enough off-roading.

Yeah but it's the best we've got out there... But I agree, they could have showed everything more. They aren't the best reviewers in the world......

everything now a days is about cool videography & fancy retro filters, versus good content.

And here's what another reviewer had to say...
On closer look, and with some seat time, the Rogue does feel a bit at odds with its mission, considering its front-seat layout that feels a little more low and laid-back than that of other crossovers. And it helps to remember that this is a model that's pitched toward suburban driveways and city streets, not off-road trails. Along with great ride comfort and a reasonably quiet interior, the Rogue has a very well-packaged interior, with a driving position that's not too high, not too low, combined back seats spacious enough for two adults (or three kids). Even when you have the back seats up, cargo space is adequate for a typical grocery run. The Rogue's one failing in family-friendliness isn't in its packaging, but rather in its refinement; its ride can be a bit pitchy compared to other crossovers, with more road noise as well.

Those guys were kind of annoying and long winded.
