The Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet. Its a crossover. A crossover is basically suv-like body-work on a car chassis with large wheels. The CrossCabriolet is also a convertible. The interesting thing is that in the past many convertibles have been performance oriented. Whether they be high-powered, or just light, they almost always seem to be about the driving experience. The wind, smells, and noise can make something like the Miata extremely exciting despite its small engine. Even Nissan seems to agree that a convertible should be sporty. Just look at their 370Z roadster. So the Murano crossover convertible must be somewhat of a new breed. Were they just going for a car for cruising around town during the day, and sunbathing, or something I am not catching on to? The rear seats are large by convertible standards, but this alleged beach buggy still has only two doors. I say beach buggy because they endorse the fact that all-wheel drive allows this to drive "From the streets to the beach." A slightly more powerful (248 ft-lbs torque and 265 hp engine) will be standard. We look forward to seeing how well this interesting new car sells.
