This car reminds me of those kiddies' pedal cars or the newest electric variants (you know, those black or pink plastic electric cars dressed up as a Cadillac Escalade, designed for 2 five year-olds who have everything). It also reminds me of some silly circus clown car. I half expect some guy with a red nose (I know a number of people I would like to point and laugh at as they get in the Murano Convertible) or a big trained bear (I also can think of a big bear of a guy I would like to laugh at) to drive off in one.

The Murano Z51 is one stunning SUV..............but this kind of pimpjob (is that what they call it?) looks ghastly and retarded

But hey whatever floats their boat

The Murano droptop convertible is a shocking sight at 1st cause you don't expect it, but ugly far from that, it actually handles pretty damn well cause of how much they had to reinforce the body when they cut the roof off, as for the wheels, its just shock value but I don't understand cutting up the fenders and destroying a vehicle to put big wheels on that should not fit, it seems like the new trend in big wheels/donks is ground clearance

That sentence could use a period or two.

The 4 door murano is a great SUV but it is ghastly to look at like the entire SUV lineup thy offer from both brands. The convertible is vomit inducing in person. This is just beyond words but what's funny is the awful mods matches the awful stock look. Of course it's selling very poorly.

But if you want to add 30" wheels and crazy mods to your ride, the murano convertible is a great starring point.

Subjective, of course......but I agree the Aztek won't win any automotive beauty-contests. Still, its styling, though admittedly ugly, is more conventional than the Juke's, whose front end I find reminiscent to the face of a toad.

Even over and above the obvious ride/steering/handling problems, I wonder if people have any idea what wheels/tires like that do to their speedometer/odometer readout.....not to menton, of course, the car's warranty.

The car is ugly enough without the ridiculous wheels.

Wow, that rear 3/4 shot is hideous. At least the aztek was trying to be practical, that murano makes a totally pointless vehicle utterly useless

Agree, I think Aztek is the ugliest car.
