Convertible Nissan Murano Crossover SUV ?
Apparently Nissan is moving forward with its plans to build a convertible Nissan Murano crossover SUV. No one really knows why, especially in this market. Initial rumors cropped up up late last year, but nothing was heard since – until recently. The report seems credible, suggesting that the vehicle will be sold as a 2011 model, featuring a soft top and will get its power from the regular Murano 265hp (197kW) 3.5L V6, according to Edmunds.
What is most interesting, the Murano convertible will supposedly be a two-door configuration, making it a sort of SUV-crossover-roadster. Who can forget the sensational success that was the Audi Cross Cabriolet quattro concept, which was a vehicle most people in their right mind would not buy. If it actually does get built, here’s wishing Nissan success.

If you don't perform as expected, you may be decapitated. Murano has probably been popular in its main target market of the USA, but has performed below expectations here in Australia, mainly due to poor marketing.
It may not be practical (or legal) to decapitate Nissan's antipodean marketers, so chopping the top off the Murano, could well helps its sales and scare it's hardtop version into better sales performance!

Some interesting concepts of how it will look. I just hope the public go for it or Nissan could find themsevles dropping in sales.
