The Rogue is far tamer-looking than the more recently introduced bug-eyed Juke but, perhaps partly for that reason, it remains far more popular.
Also, while not exactly roomy, the Rogue at least has more usable space inside, while still getting excellent fuel economy. It's fun to drive, too. Overall, it's one of the bright spots in Nissan's line-up during this tough quake-rattled year for Japanese automakers.
