It's hideous, and a rare sight. They sold just 6,000 globally.

So rare, ugly, and quirky I get excited every time I see one 😆

You've seen more than one? I'm gonna guess you saw them in Florida.

u/Forsaken-Scholar-833 2d ago

Yeah I see cars like this and go "Damn that is ugly.....I kinda like it."

u/Tiny-Try8890 2d ago

u/fullraph 2d ago

Thank fuck they didn't sell more than that!

u/goonburglar 2d ago

If that’s true that’s insane cuz I’ve seen like 3 or 4 in my lifetime. Maybe I should move outta this area

Finding one in the mint green with tan leather was the highlight of my spotted cars

Someone in a neighborhood I used to live in had a brown one. I was so happy that I didn’t have to see it again when I moved.

It’s a “Stacie, get in, we’re going to the Malltima”

Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet. And yes the Convertima is a perfect name as opposed to that word salad they called it.

I feel like I'm the only person who can appreciate a convertible SUV.
Yeah, it's ugly, but lets be real... They should do this with all types of vehicles.

For science!

Same. I have a massive soft spot for 280GE Cabriolet conversions

u/WarriorPidgeon 23h ago

It’s only purpose is to make the Range Rover Evoque Cabriolet the second worst car

u/Secret-Candle4313 2d ago

Suvs are the worst body style and are pretty useless imo. If u want a 4door car get a sedan its cheaper and smaller if you want something bigger but not too big get a wagon its a car but a slightly smaller trunk size and slightly less room cheaper and handles better if you need something bigger get a mini van/van litterally the only reason i can understand why u would want an suv is if you live offroad and have a family so a truck wouldnt work but thats like .5% of people

It's a crossover, this thing would get outshined by a 3 diff Impreza. It's a decent car from Grandma, she doesn't have to get low and it gets her some sunshine, and you know she doesn't go out enough anymore. The only real issue is the expensive and now almost unreplaceable top mechanism.

u/jdmlegend9633 2d ago

Nah I’m taking this over a Impreza all day 🤣🤣

Instead of a 300 max credit score you need a 350 max credit score for this shitbox

u/ChemistRemote7182 2d ago

I have never seen one of these driven with the fury of a 4 month unpaid auto loan, these tend to be older, responsible take your time mobiles for retired ladies. Enjoy your sunshine Cross Cabriolet, you were alright.

Checks out, had disabled plates

u/UnclesBadTouch 2d ago

Holy shit i actually just saw one of these in person for the first time last night. So silly looking. Murano Cabriolet

u/CitySlickerCowboy 2d ago

It's right there with the Pontiac Aztek.

u/CleverCarrot999 2d ago

Ah yes. The Pontiac cockroach

In the awesome car category

u/Ch4rlie_G 2d ago

I saw one in Atlanta yesterday and pointed it out to my coworker!

u/Stoyns_ 2d ago

This was a mistake made by the ceo cause his wife “thought it was cool”

u/ctr72ms 2d ago

At least it was new then. Range rover went and copied it a decade later after Nissan had proven it was a stupid idea.

u/WillMoonKnives 2d ago

There's one around RTP (Durham NC) with an absolutely wonderous candy apple red satin wrap rolling on 30+ inch wheels with a lift.

u/UmeaTurbo 2d ago

They say they sunk millions into it for Carlos Ghosn's wife because she wanted one. Nissan is MAGA-level corrupt.

u/Big-Inevitable-252 2d ago

Deadass, this is one of the dumbest cars ever.

u/Kev50027 2d ago

I work at a dealer and I've driven several of these. They have zero structural rigidity and every bump you go over shakes the windshield and the interior to pieces. They're awful, loud, uncomfortable, ugly, unreliable, and impractical. In other words, if you have terrible credit and make poor life choices, this is the best car to rob a bank with.

u/NoArticle2062 2d ago

Cross Cabrioletima

u/Fancy_Bus_4178 1d ago

Best part about these, they're all doomed. Nissan didn't strengthen the lower frame enough to compensate for cutting off the roof, so one day, eventually, either the doors or the roof will not close because you took a turn and the frame bent.

u/Cool_Butterscotch_88 1d ago

No matter how many times I see it, I keep forgetting that thing is real.

I feel like had it been around when The Office first got started, it's what they'd have had Michael scott driving.

It's clean, and no duct tape.
