Murano Crosscabriolet

[JHarris1385]

Anyone else see this advertisement in the new Car and Driver? I am sure it's elsewhere but the first time I saw it official.

Saw the car at the show and it did not appeal to me at all.

@Circ - Try google? Posting from my phone and did not post a link.

Here is one otherwise. I am not saying I like it, but I like the direction. Maybe others will follow the trend and hopefully build a better looking one. $47K seems steep.

I saw it at the Chicago Auto Show as well. One word: Meh...

Kinda looks too much PT cruiser convertible to me. I just hope it takes off and more make this style and someone out there makes something better looking.

I never like the look when the hood comes up higher than the back end. It should be an even line.

Maybe that's an optical illusion in one of the other pics? Looks like the back end is higher here, though still not a straight line.

Oh and btw, $47K is RIDICULOUS.

[Exclamation]

They should come up with a way to get a hardtop of a crosscabrolet. I dont care for a soft top on an SUV I personally like for SUV's and trucks to look strong and be tough. Not have this cloth looking top.

[Gussie2000]

I wonder why they didn't try this experiment with the two-door altima or maxima. ?

I might ended up being more appealing then this one


Result = Me no like it :(

I think they take the hump off in the back it look much better.

And what the heck is that god awful color? Mint green? Looks to be McDonalds shamrock shake inspired

[vt_maverick]

No kidding - it's terrible.

Yeah, and your point is? :laugho: I had an S4 twin turbo for 4 yrs, SAAWWEEEETTT! Dave had a TT....not as SAWEET as my S4...heh. Used the D90 for off-road, so we got to keep these all purdy!

[JHarris1385]

Audi are awesome!

And that is an absurd price tag.

[Exclamation]

You could also get a like 2005 SL55 AMG for under 47k. No way I would EVER choose that ugly murano thing over an SL55...

Ha ha... Shamrock Shake! To me, the hump is the only thing keeping it from looking like a bathtub by breaking up that loooong straight line. In fact, I think I may have rented an apartment that was built in the 70s that had a tub in the same color.

why oh why on gods green earth would anyone do that??
