Mostly when a car reaches the end of its life, we’re quite sad to see it go.

That’s not the case with the Nissan Murano CrossCabrio, even though we never got it in SA.

Kudos to Nissan for trying something unique, but the CrossCabrio’s short lifespan is proof that it was a niche too far. As it turns out, the world has no need for a crossover without a roof.

A new Murano is coming in 2015, and while there will probably be multiple versions of this new crossover available, we doubt Nissan will make the same mistake by chopping the new car’s roof off.

It never felt like it was working hard, and after 2 400 kilometres, neither did I.
