I didn't think any of these actually ever sold...

... But I was wrong. I found one in the wild.

They are hitting the Donk scene here in Houston. Several different ones have been spotted that have fallen into the wrong hands.

Doh! I meant for this to go in OT.

Other than ugly what is it?

Also, nice parking job by the red car.

There are a few of them around here. Fortunately, no donk-anything though.

I had a feeling it would be one of those before I even opened the thread.

I see them now and again, but definitely rare. I see more $200K Italian exotics than these.

FTFY. It is not the poor Murano Cabriolet's fault that is was born from an unnatural and depraved triangle of lust between a steam iron, a Pokemon, and the fake boobs of an automotive executive's airheaded trophy wife. Nonetheless, the hapless Murano Cabriolet must be banished to the empty wastelands of tastelessness in which it was conceived. It's sad, but necessary for the good of society and the purity of the automotive gene pool.

I saw a Rondo today with NJ tags.. does that help offset the ugly in this thread?

Ain't that the truth.

Unfortunately, there is far too much Renault influence on the Nissan design side in the past decade. The only models that don't look totally retarded are the more traditional models, such as the Sentra and Altima. OK, the 370Z and GTR both look good, but I doubt that anyone in France has much say on their styling.

The new Pathfinder is starting to look stupid (compared to the simple square previous design):

And even the new Titan looks faintly silly:

really want to have your mind blown?

The Murano Cross Cabriolet has the second highest MSRP of any Nissan vehicle, behind the GT-R

In reply to moparman76_69:

That thing was still there as of two weeks ago. I think they leave it there because it's hysterical.

Wait, is that a DSM swapped stratus?

There are several that run around here.

I wrote the technical training course for that car. I remember when Inwas given the assignment to "develop the course for the new Murano convertible (it hadnt been named at that point)".
I said, "convertible? So not the murano though, that's the SUV. What car is this?"
The PM said " I dunno man, they said Murano more than once".
We were bith bery surprised.

that thing is even uglier than the Honda Crosstour … after the fiasco of the Aztek I didn't think anything would be that ugly for a long long time … I was wrong

and that Frontier looks like an even uglier F150

As for the cross cabriolet my wife saw one the other day, I remarked she found the only one ever sold. Apparently I was wrong.

Late model Nissans look terrible. The nicest looking in their "lineup" now is the Rogue.

I say this because the lineup they show on their TV commercials never seems to include the 370Z or Skyline. Why would you not want to remind people you also have those? Sure! Lets just not acknowledge they exist!

In reply to failboat:

Because 370z and gtr dont need any help to sell them.

An older upper management guy here has a maroon Murano vert that he's quite proud of. The only one I'd seen before that was on a lot in California.
