What America "thinks"
I might be "bitchy" but I'm also "bright" and it does NOT take a rocket scientist to figure out if they want to make money:

you would have to be crazy to buy one
ThatAstonGuy (Yesterday 09:11 AM)
This is odd.....
Who would actually buy one?
cjcz92 (Yesterday 09:11 AM)
People will buy these. Unfortunately.

i just can't imagine it looking very well?

I don't really know what to think of this..

What the F. Do they know that the Murano is a crossover right? Whatever more convertibles FTW.
21budd (Yesterday 09:42 AM)
To start the Murano can't decide what it is. Is it a wagon? Minivan? Suv? Just a glob of playdo with wheels. I doubt the giving it a soft top will help give it "image appeal".

It'll be about as good as a PT Cruiser convertible. I think Nissan is going to lose some serious $$$on this.
cactus_man (Yesterday 09:55 AM)
huh!? Personally, I think this is a bad idea...but I hope they make one, just so I can see what it looks like!
theguard (Yesterday 10:05 AM)
Are they so oblivous to greenlight this low volume travesty and keep the Infiniti Essence as concept? Who over at Nissan HQ do I have to blame for this mockery? Congrats to the CEO for letting this happen... I'm sure it will still sell because there will be some spoiled-goth-punk-fetish-family-vegan-soccer mom that wants to be unique and "hip" who will buy it...

HELL NO!!! What the hell is Nissan thinking?!
It's times like these that I don't understand why certain highly-desirable concepts/cars are endlessly debated for production (or even shelved/cancelled permanantly), yet garbage like this is rushed to the front lines.
WTF?!

A LA PT CRUISER!!!! GOTTA BE P/R STUNT--although there was a vehicle called "thing" that could look as dumb as that one did

The front of this thing is so ugly, I saw one on the road not to long ago
Nissan, wake up!

No. ew.

I'm generally not a fan of Nissan's most recently styled cars, but I've always liked the Murano. Before I could make up my mind, I'd have to see a mock-up of what it would look like as a ragtop. But, unlike most of these posters, I'm not repulsed.

In general I won´t buy any kind of convertible other than a wrangler which is the only one that looks as good with the top on and off. But I can rent it in some beach vacation in Cancun or in Florida.

is it April 1st?
bdpmc68 (Yesterday 11:10 AM)
If they can keep this thing a 5 passenger with a soft top, everyone is going to be surprised at how many they sell.
valdaviper1 (Yesterday 11:34 AM)
i think it's a good idea..I was really looking forward to the Isuzu Axiom XSR coming out a couple of years back..maybe this might be just as cool.

WhhhhATTTTT???
uawbaby7 (Yesterday 12:23 PM)
I cut the top off my Murano...because I got high!
bjtheskier (Yesterday 01:15 PM)
instead of this they should make an infiniti fx45 with a retractable glass roof like a 911 targa. it would look good, have 4 doors still, and it would be an inifiniti so it has the image that would go with a car that would obviously be more expensive than the norm
Delspencerdeltorro (Yesterday 02:20 PM)
Did anyone commenting actually read the article? This has PR Stunt plastered all over it.
Anyway, it just seems too big to be made into a convertible, but I do want to see what the hell it looks like.

Between a Convertible Murano and a Juke...which one would you drive???
92Vectra1.6i (Yesterday 03:35 PM)
Ugh!! Three words: dumbest idea ever!!
Colincarguy (Yesterday 03:42 PM)
I laughed at this headline, truly Motortrend was pulling an april fools joke (aka last years horrible corvette review). my brain does hurt thinking about this. but in retrospect, i think a shorter wheel base, 2 door, convertable murano might actually be nice looking. now we just need a concept to go from.

go do something idiotic that bmw hasn't done. EAT THAT X6M!!!!

i donn't know about this convertible,i would have to see it first to give a true opinion but now a 4 door panamera convertible sounds cool,now the question is. is nissan trying to show jeep,lander rover and hummer that a 4wd vehicle dose not have to be a box on wheels.
scoobs (Yesterday 05:15 PM)
What the hell is going on at Nissan?
Crapy out dated sentra,
The odd looking and useless Juke,
No se-r version of the versa,
No update on the Titan,
CVT in the Maxima,
Hell, CVT everywhere,
The Cube,
A 370Z out paced by the new Stang,
The only car that is perfect is the GTR.
IBx1 (Yesterday 05:22 PM)
Sure, I love the idea of a convertible SUV! Someone made a Trailblazer convertible that looked really sleek. If they can do this, go for it, but at least show us a concept or rendering sometime soon.
Alex daOriginal (Yesterday 05:36 PM)
it's basicly a crossover Jeep.
honestly if it looks good I migth actualy want one, and i liked the PT convertible. a coupe would have been cooler but yeah,
though i wouldn't buy one cause it's no Jeep Wrangler or classic Blazer/Bronco.
tortillarat (Yesterday 10:12 PM)
I am increasingly convinced Nissan's execs have lost their sanity.
Then again, maybe they're brilliant? Their line-up's certainly more...uh...interesting...than Toyota.
ManFurismoJive (Yesterday 10:16 PM)
I literally laughed after seeing the link to this article.
CASIO90280 (Today 12:37 AM)
sighs ,my GM was talking about this trip heh thats why he was pissed hahahaha ,damn nissan if 30 plus million bux is burning a whole in ur pocket id be more then happy to take that of ur hands but dont make this harbage there are plenty of things i can sell but not this.
autobug2 (Today 06:30 AM)
Glad Im not the only one to see the lunacy of such a decision at Nissan. Dallasdan brought up an interesting point regarding P/R stunt possabilities...
this so-called 'announcement' simply makes NO SENSE to auto-minded people. I see shades of `89 Dodge Dakota convertible here, which have me running to the toilet. While I wish Nissan alot of luck (if this is actually true), I see this brain-fart from their design team falling flatter than a bag of wet cement.
Especially, if this turns out to be another ASC cobble-job like the PT Cruiser cvt. with it's basket-handle to hold the mess together. Cutting new ground in the auto industry is one thing; offering something no one wants is quite another.
