It\u2019s just a simple fact of life that, since station wagons are really only widely available in Europe, that many American\u2019s need an SUV. These Americans have family responsibilities and as such they need a vehicle with ample cargo volume (for baby strollers, diaper bags, Little League equipment) yet refuse to be seen behind the wheel of a minivan. But there is a further subset of Americans who want a little something more out of the average SUV\/crossover. They want something that is not only friendly to the juice box set but that is also fun to drive and makes them look cool. No, there is absolutely no way these people want to be seen in a \u201cMommy Mobile\u201d nor do they want to pay through the nose for an SUV with a bit of style but horrible gas mileage. This is where the 2010 Nissan Rogue S Krom Edition comes in. Priced at just $24,740 with fuel economy ratings of 22 city\/27 highway, it becomes easy to see that this Rogue variant will be easy on your wallet. What it doesn\u2019t tell you is that somehow Nissan turned a classically handsome \u201cCute-Ute\u201d and turned it into a menacing beast with a racy looking rear spoiler, aggressive looking 17-inch chrome rims and a center mounted, dual pipe sport exhaust system integrated into the restyled rear bumper. And I haven\u2019t even gotten to the new chromed out grille, the angry looking fog lights and body kit add-ons yet. Seriously, this is not the SUV\/crossover for a shrinking violet who doesn\u2019t like to get noticed. And the 2010 Nissan Rogue Krom Edition only comes in three very scary sounding colors known only as Venom Red, Gotham Gray and Wicked Black. So are you scared yet? Exterior Design The Nissan Rogue was one of the best looking small SUVs when it was introduced and it continues as such in 2010 with the Krom Edition. Although most of the Krom Edition add-ons are visual, they all still manage to work together to keep the original cohesiveness of the Rogue\u2019s original design intact. For instance, the chrome rims that come with the Krom Edition may not be to everyone\u2019s taste but that is why the wheel designs for the more conservative Rogue SL ($22,050) and Rogue S with 360 Degrees Package are much more subtle. Also, I must admit that the new grille on the front of the Rogue Krom Edition goes some way towards making this SUV appear more masculine. Almost like a mini-Murano. To be frank, at first I wasn\u2019t sure about a Rogue with a rear spoiler, body cladding Category:Home \u203a Home \u2022 Will higher gasoline prices mean lower sales for new cars? \u2014 part 2 \u2022 Will higher gasoline prices mean lower sales for new cars? \u2014 part 1 \u2022 Should the crew of the Sea Shepherd board whaling ships? \u2022 Which makes a better pet: A dog or a cat? \u2014 part 13 \u2022 Grandparents: Can blogging chronicle your genealogy? \u2022 Which makes a better pet: A dog or a cat? \u2014 part 12 \u2022 Are teachers unions the cause of public school problems today? \u2022 Which makes a better pet: A dog or a cat? \u2014 part 11<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
