If you’ve ever had your retinas scorched and mind baffled by the sight of a Nissan Murano CrossCabrio, then you’ll be happy to learn they’re finally going to cease its production.
It was, back in 2011, a sign on Nissan’s part that it was willing to take a gamble and release something unique, with which to create a niche, the only problem is nobody really liked it and it didn’t start a trend, despite the fact that it wasn’t all that bad as a high-riding drop-top.
Now, we hear from Autonews that it will be gone from Nissan’s 2015 lineup, along with the quirky, asymmetrical Cube. However, it seems that they’re not necessarily doing it because of bad sales and consumer criticism, because they did a fine job ignoring the constant stream of both for the entire lifetime of the model, and it’s more a case of making room for the all-new Murano that’s set to debut this year.
They’re obviously not going to make the same mistake again, and they’ll keep variations of the next Murano much more conventional. Even if they’d have stated they were making a new one, we would not have believed them…
