World Debut of 2012 Nissan Murano Convertible

[Fire0nic3]

World Debut - Nov. 17th at the Los Angeles Auto Show

The world’s first all-wheel drive crossover convertible, delivers the open-air exhilaration of a convertible while extending the versatility of the Murano in exciting new ways. With room for four adults, space for golf bags or luggage (even with the top down), and a premium level interior, the Murano CrossCabriolet represents a breakthrough in concept and design. Set to go on sale in early 2011.




I must say I like. I think it's pretty cool:tongue (2):

+1 on that. Looks much better than the photo shops that were out.

Hmmmm drop top fx .is this a hard or rag

 

[drew855]

cool idea, cant say I love it, but it will be interesting to see how other car manufacturers react to this concept, could bring about a whole new class of cars if sales are successful

Liking it. Some of the standard Murano parts (like the grill) still need to be tweaked but as a hardtop to convertible conversion this is very successful IMO.

 

[pmanliu]

interesting...

its like a 370z with a lift kit. gahah

Knowing the general shape of a Murano, I'm thinking its going to look like a PT Cruiser convertible in person.

 

[Logan]

Hmmmmm looks a lot better with the top down and the poser blue body shot is very forgiving of the body lines.....

 

[AeroBFA]

^ Hmmmm reminds me of the PT Cruiser....:confused.:

 

[jumbosrule]

Wonder how bad wind buffeting in the back seats would be?

The body lines are better than the standard Murano, but FWD FTL.

looks like a PT Cruiser to me, much better with the top down i'd say.

 

[SexualChocolate]

Ewwwwwwww.

It'll be nice for the older set with the easy ingress/egress because of the chair height.

I've never been a fan of convertibles, I'll pick the hardtop version of any car over the convertible any day

(except for the Lincoln Continentals in the mid 60's with the suicide doors)

after looking at the second pic....i take my words back...it's starting to look ugly to me

that's one of the main reasons why I don't like convertibles, they look like ass with the top up...

...then, there are the convertibles with the hardtop (like BMW 3's, MB SL's) but the problem is... hardtop convertibles are EVEN more heavier than soft top convertibles.

convertibles are weighted down in the first place for safety reasons, hardtop convertibles are like whales with all the mechanics.

exactly what happened to the g37 convert.. I am not liking the murano any more look like crap with the top up.
