How to describe a Nissan Rogue?

[Mrcjolsen]

"What kind of car did you get?"
"A Nissan Rogue."
"What's that?"

I have this question a lot. If I say "Small SUV" they envision something the size of a Ford Explorer or other vehicle that can only tow a light cruiser as opposed to a battleship.

"A little bit smaller than a Nissan Murano" implies they know what a Murano is. (Memo to Nissan: Your marketing department may be slacking off).

"It's like a Honda CR-V or a Toyota RAV-4." Is often met with "why didn't you get one of those."

What I like to say is to describe the car as what it really is - An all-wheel-drive Nissan Sentra wagon.

Any one else have a good description for their car?

It gets a little awkward when I have to tell people I drive a Nissan ROGUE, not a Rogue!

version 1
them: oh what do you drive?
me: a nissan suv
them: oh ok.

version 2
them: oh what do you drive?
me: a nissan rogue
them: whats that?
me: its a little suv. i needed it to tow my sportbike to & from the race-track.
them: oh thats cool. add small talk: good gas mileage? what options did you get? how is your insurance, etc

version 3
her: "What kind of car did you get?"
me: "A Nissan Rogue."
her: "What's that?"
me: "you dont know what a rogue is? really?
her: "no, whats a rogue"
me: "its a small all wheel drive suv / crossover. by the way did i mention that dress looks great on you?"
her: "oh wow thats so nice of you. wanna have sex?"
me: "sure!"

and when you say: "It's like a Honda CR-V or a Toyota RAV-4." and the reply: "why didn't you get one of those."
ALL YOU GOTTA SAY IS: honda and toyota both make a great cars. but they are extremely expensive to maintain. both require a rubber timing BELT to be changed every 60,000 or so miles and thats over $1,000 a pop. Nissan uses a strong metal timing chain that doesnt need any maintenance for at least 150,000miles. thats cost saving in my pocket and quality, that has earned Nissan top rated engines.

Ex: I heard you got a new car, what did you get?
Me: A Rogue
Ex: Of course, that makes perfect sense...

Drum Roll...LOL

[Leo2005]

Improvise anytime with explanation...just like in ImStricken's joke. Also he did remind me another joke of the same idea:
-Where were you born?
-In Russia.
-Which part?
-What "which part"? The whole body was born in Russia.

This is sooo wrong on so many levels... I just pray your better half doesn't see this as I fear she may Bobbitt-ize you!

Back to the original question (sort of). Have you ever noticed that once you buy a particular vehicle, suddenly you see them everywhere? Case in point, the other day I spotted no less than three Rogues within the span of one hour. Given that I'm in a rural/beach resort town and it's currently off season, it indicated (to me anyway) that the Rogue is gaining in popularity.

...especially if that other half can use power tools like an impact wrench or "bolt cutters"

[ImStricken06]

lol - forget the impact wrench or bolt cutters. knowing her, she would rather "re-certify" me with the pepper spray i bought her from the police/military supply. id rather take am impact wrench than get sprayed again. that stuff is no joke lol

Small crossover. Never had to explain though. Rogues are ubiquitous around here.

[MuranoDriver]

Small Crossover/SUV is a good description. When I test drove one it felt like a taller and raised version of a Nissan Sentra Wagon.

Im using Version 3. Period.

I always say "it's a small crossover/SUV" to people that don't know. The Rogue is probable the car that Nissan is selling the most right now, here in Connecticut the Rogue has spread out like a disease.
