I"ve read there will not be any Nav system for the Rogue. In a VERY tight market why drop the ball on this. Other Nissan models already have it?

I believe to keep the price down since the Murano is the high end Nissan Crossover. To tell you the truth the people with the Nav in the Titan really aren't that thrilled with it and most have started going with the Kenwood DNX7100 DVD navigation receiver at Crutchfield.com that you can find on the Net for under $1K or the Alpine IVA-W205 WWW.Alpine-USA.com .

Here is Nissan's Release for the Rogue
