Report Nissan still working on convertible Murano

Last August, InsideLine reported Nissan was working on a convertible variant of the Murano crossover but nothing was heard since - until today. The report appears credible, indicating that the vehicle will be sold as 2011 Murano convertible, and will be produced in limited numbers, feature a retractable soft-top and will be packing the same 265-hp, 3.5-liter V6 and CVT to send power to either the front wheels or all four.

                     

Perhaps most interesting, the Murano convertible will supposedly get a two-door configuration, making it a sort of SUV-crossover-roadster. It's beginning to sound like a venture into mythical creature territory.
But who can forget the stunning success that is (was) the Chrysler PT Cruiser Convertible, or the Audi Cross Cabriolet quattrso concept, which managed to take all the glory of German engineering and Audi design and still come up with something no one in their right mind would buy.
Here's hoping Nissan manages to beat the odds with the Murano convertible - if it is in fact to be built.
