2011 Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet Road Test - Edmunds.com
From the first we found the idea of a Nissan Murano convertible just too weird to be true. Even when we heard official confirmation that Nissan would indeed be creating a drop-top Murano, we still addressed it with the same attitude typically reserved for aliens, Sasquatch and "Elvis Alive on Guam. " We would believe it when we saw it. Well, here we are sitting in the 2011 Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet, and to be safe, we're keeping our eyes open for a 7-foot furry creature riding shotgun with The King on board a Klingon battle cruiser. Yet just because that weird rumor turned out to be true doesn't make this resulting vehicle any less strange — in concept or appearance. Nissan took its avant-garde Murano crossover , lopped off the roof and hatchback, removed the rear doors and lengthened the front doors by nearly 8 inches. It accelerates like a Murano, it steers like a Murano and the view from the driver seat is just like in a Murano. There's nothing really with which to compare the Murano CrossCabriolet, since the only other convertible SUV is a Jeep Wrangler.
