As much as we were hoping that it was nothing more than an elaborate internet hoax by a talented Photoshopper, we're getting closer and closer to slotting this one away in the Silly But Apparently True file. According to Inside Line, the oft-rumored
Nissan Murano convertible is indeed coming to an auto show near you, starting late this year at the
LA Auto Show.
Yes, we're serious. No, we're not sure we get it either.
If there's any truth to this rumor, we can expect the droptop crossover to hit the market as a 2012 model equipped with the same 3.5-liter V6 engine and continuously variable automatic transmission as the standard-issue
Murano. The switchover to convertible status will reportedly include the removal of the rear doors and may even come with a
Chrysler PT Cruiser-esque hoop that's ostensibly there to boost rigidity and act as some sort of roll bar in the unlikely event of a tipover. We're sure it'll be just the thing for unstable homecoming queens come parade duty.
Gluttons for punishment are free to see the complete retina-roasting rendering
here at Inside Line. Hey, don't blame us... we warned you.
