Rising gas prices have prompted important market changes, and some winning products. A great example is our Best Small Utility, the Nissan Rogue. With the popularity of compact car-based crossover vehicles on the upswing, Nissan dealers demanded a competitor for segment leaders like the Honda CR-V. The Rogue, which derives most of its mechanical bits from the Sentra sedan, delivers a strong balance of practicality, front or all-wheel drive performance, style, and affordability. Plus, this sharp little crossover is fun to drive, can carry plenty of stuff, and won't beat you up at the gas pump. No wonder it's a winner.
