Yah, just saw a 2010 AWD Nissan Rogue, well I ASSUMED since it had the chrome handles. Anyways, I just realized a few new things I never knew about the 2010 version.

a) You don't see the muffler on the bottom and sideways like before. b) It had dual exhausts. Pretty cool but the exhausts were kinda small in diameter. But I still digged it. c) Also the bumpers have built-in reflectors. Which was really needed because the rear is kinda dark. The lenses may seem big but when the running rear lights are on, it's these thin slits that are showing any light back there. If it was not for my bright license lights to compensate the lack of brightness in the rear, then my Rogue would be pretty dark.

Lastly, the rogue was a type of Brown color, really nice to look at.

Just wondering how come I never read it in here, basically I thought the Rogue was basically the same except it had chrome handles.

Having dual exhausts and bumper differences is not a HUGE difference but a NICE difference.

I would be willing to bet that you saw a fairly new Murano.

-dual exhaust-reflectors in the bumper-brown color available

None of those fit any trim levels of the 2010 Rogue.

The tail lights are very similar at first glance to the Rogue. I've been thrown off by them more than once (especially when I was still considering my Rogue purchase and paying extra attention to each one I saw on the road).

my bad, your right. I was looking at a Murano. It was dusk at sunset, I thought the rear lights were the Rogue thinking that the Murano had the 2007 rear lights. The more vertical look. I didn't realize that both vehicles have similar rear lens the past 2-3 years.

Confirmed it at the Nissan .

One of the only things that I never liked was how the muffler system is set up, something is sticking under there that I never liked. Other than that, I like it's looks.
