Best of Awards: 2014 Nissan Rogue Seats 7 – Featuring M.I.A. XXXO

The all-new Rogue is a huge hit so far: with seven seats and pricing from about $24,000 — this compact crossover nails a huge swath of buyer priorities.

Its new LED lighting up front sets the tone, while the Nissan V-bar grille is just foreshadowing.

Enjoy this early reveal of the Nissan Rogue in “Full-Throttle Action.”

My favorite part? Seeing our pilot’s high-heel shoe mash the throttle to the floor before she uses an on-ramp to jump onto a train’s roof.

All in a day’s work for the on-trend and stylish Rogue.

This Nissan commercial seems to channel Sri Lankan musician M.I.A. a little bit, so here is a fun music video of the Rogue’s favorite tune.

 

 

 

 

A final fun but: the lyrics of M.I.A.’s huge smash hit, Paper Planes. Who knew this is what she was saying!

All in good fun, though. And so is the Nissan Rogue.

I fly like paper, get high like planes
If you catch me at the border, I got visas in my name
If you come around here, I make ’em all day
I get one done in a second if you wait

I fly like paper, get high like planes
If you catch me at the border, I got visas in my name
If you come around here, I make ’em all day
I get one done in a second if you wait

Sometimes I think sitting on trains
Every stop I get to, I’m clocking that game
Everyone’s a winner, we’re making our fame
Bona fide hustler making my name

Sometimes I think sitting on trains
Every stop I get to, I’m clocking that game
Everyone’s a winner now we’re making our fame
Bona fide hustler making my name

All I wanna do is (BANG BANG BANG BANG )
And a,((KACHENG)) and take your money
All I wanna do is(BANG BANG BANG BANG )
And a, (KACHENG)and take your money

All I wanna do is(BANG BANG BANG BANG )
And a, (KACHENG)and take your money
All I wanna do is(BANG BANG BANG BANG )
And a,(KACHENG) and take your money

Pirate skulls and bones
Sticks and stones and weed and bones
Running when we hit ’em
Lethal poison through their system

Pirate skulls and bones
Sticks and stones and weed and bones
Running when we hit ’em
Lethal poison through their system

No one on the corner has swagger like us
Hit me on my burner, prepaid wireless
We pack and deliver like UPS trucks
Already going to hell, just pumping that gas

No one on the corner has swagger like us
Hit me on my burner, prepaid wireless
We pack and deliver like UPS trucks
Already going to hell, just pumping that gas

All I wanna do is(BANG BANG BANG BANG )
And a,(KACHENG) and take your money
All I wanna do is(BANG BANG BANG BANG )
And a,(KACHENG) and take your money

All I wanna do is(BANG BANG BANG BANG )
And a,(KACHENG) and take your money
All I wanna do is(BANG BANG BANG BANG )
And a,(KACHENG) and take your money

M.I.A., third world democracy
Yeah, I got more records than the KGB
So, uh, no funny business, are you all ready?

Some, some, some I, some I murder
Some I, some I let go
Some, some, some I, some I murder
Some I, some I let go

All I wanna do is(BANG BANG BANG BANG )
And a,(KACHENG) and take your money
All I wanna do is(BANG BANG BANG BANG )
And a,(KACHENG) and take your money

All I wanna do is(BANG BANG BANG BANG )
And a,(KACHENG) and take your money
All I wanna do is(BANG BANG BANG BANG )
And a,(KACHENG) and take your money
