You’re probably right. It’s a nice idea, poor in execution, but the Infiniti badge would lend a “premium” aura to it. Even at that, though, it seems like Toyota is the only Japanese manufacturer that seems to get the premium level - Lexus is considered roughly on par with BMW/Audi/Mercedes in the U.S., but not so much Acura or Infiniti.
I love this car you all are trashing. It is really better than he portraits it to be. The ride is smooth. Also it is a real head turner. Now that it is 2013 they are worth less but I still want one. I am going to make it the first car I buy.
Excellent review. I was considering a 2011 version, but with the horrible gas mileage, the shaky car and heavy doors, I think I'll pass. I had an Infiniti G35 Coupe with doors so heavy I injured myself. Not again.
Its a very interesting car, it interesting that this car is selling well, that other car companies haven't created a crossover convertible, and those heavy doors mean that the car is well built and solid.
Only 4 people dislike the Murano? I expected more than that! The styling is okay, but the featues and the price tag makes people not want to buy this Cross Cabriolet! I have no doubt that this car isn't going to sell well and maybe discontinue this model in a matter of months!
@JamboyStu This car is aimed at a wealthier demographic, or retirees, or empty-nesters. (If you know what I'm talking about.) Those types of people probably are not too concerned about fuel pricing. Please, if you have a reply, don't say anything nasty, appreciated.
I just bought a Mazda MX5 because the other cool convertibles are TOO expensive , NOT as reliable or have TOO big of engines for just cruising. I heard Ford just came out with an Eco 4 cylinder Mustang I and look forward to trying that. Love the MX5 but a larger car would be perfect.
The Nissan Murano crosscabriolet reminds me of the Pontiac Aztek not for it's styling but mainly it just seemed odd at the time I think Nissan was trying to start a trend of having a convertible but with the benefits of a crossover and AWD it in a way it worked and in a way it failed the last soft top crossover/SUV I can think of was the Jeep Liberty soft top
If Land Rover made something like this, it would look cool, because I do like the idea of a top off but high up feel, similar to a jeep but more refined.
I actually like the color, but sadly that price tag is ridiculous, would rather buy an Acura MDX loaded for that price. I know they are not in the same category but for a Nissan that is expensive, and not much functionality. people will argue about functionality since its mainly targeted towards older people who have the funds to buy such a sad niche car. But more of a reason to buy since you can stand out, such as the Acura ZDX, BMW x6, or this Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet
@theballinmaster You don't dislike a video review because you don't like the subject, if you're doing that shit cut it out. A thumbs down means the video was bad, not the subject.
First off, its 40k, second off its uglier than sin. Next, it has a cvt and last time i drove a nissan the cvt sucked. Thats just a few of the reasons you DONT see these cars often. I saw one the other day, I felt sorry for the person driving it.
"One is a seatbelt extender in case your going to be driving to your audition for the biggest loser."
Just about spit water on my keyboard
Whoever came up with the idea of a cabriolet on the Murano was clearly drunk at the time.
+WuWei Xu Same with the guy that designed the juke
+TheAventadorSV the juke is actually a lot more functional than the cross cabrio
Alfonso Flores Yeah but the design is terrible
TheAventadorSV it's japanese, what do you expect
Alfonso Flores Just because its Japanese doesnt mean it has to look bad
If they sold this as an Infiniti it would have sold better
nah
I'd buy it!

Infiniti badge with the VQ engine and a regular automatic transmission and you would see a bunch of hoodlums pretending theyre driving a bentley lmao
Debatable.
Brian is and has always been a extremely accurate, kind and extremely demeaning, all at once!! Hahah what a dream! I truly miss these reviews...
Theres literally no one like him then and now
Cooley is the man
47,000 is offensive. Everything from the price to the additional options seem like a gag
One of the great car reviews of all time.
They definitely produced this car on a bet, but Its weird that I actually want one. It's so strange and I love it.
Think I'm the only person who likes this 😂
cuz ur a n00b
+Adam AL-Janabi yeah probably
i like it. I bought one.
i like i test drove the 2014 model and i loved it and for me being a big guy i fit just fine in it
I love it!
The only time I would drive this is if I was driving off a cliff! Ugly doesn't even start !!
Jesus Christ...
Ugly is included at no extra cost
Laughed my ass off when he made the amputation joke with the roof. Holy $#% that closes quickly
This car is a perfect answer to a question that was never asked.
idea =GOOD, design = terrible, price = too much. Final grade = F
Honestly...still want it.
Funniest car review I've ever seen.
...most ways to amputate your limbs.
This is definitely a future classic collectible
I love this car you all are trashing. It is really better than he portraits it to be. The ride is smooth. Also it is a real head turner. Now that it is 2013 they are worth less but I still want one. I am going to make it the first car I buy.
Still kinda want one.
I don't care what anyone else thinks. I think it looks great.
Same
This guy knows how to review a car!
I really miss these shows.
Atleast they're taking a risk with these designs, I have to give them credit for that.
I don't know why but I really like the background music of each episode!
Excellent review. I was considering a 2011 version, but with the horrible gas mileage, the shaky car and heavy doors, I think I'll pass. I had an Infiniti G35 Coupe with doors so heavy I injured myself. Not again.
This is a suv a rapper would buy if the hummer h2 or h3 didn’t exist
Its a very interesting car, it interesting that this car is selling well, that other car companies haven't created a crossover convertible, and those heavy doors mean that the car is well built and solid.
let me say this, someone thought this was pretty cool, land rovers coming out with one, go look at it on here
finally! haven't seen car reviews in here for a while
AWESOME CAR!! Its the best of both worlds, SUV with a rag top!
Only 4 people dislike the Murano? I expected more than that! The styling is okay, but the featues and the price tag makes people not want to buy this Cross Cabriolet! I have no doubt that this car isn't going to sell well and maybe discontinue this model in a matter of months!
I've (sadly) seen 2 of these on the same road on different days and I died of laughter.
I miss these videos.
This car has the greatest option list ever!
Wow, every time you say "crosscab" you get a little cooler. So cool.
CNET what company removed the TOP for Nissan's Cabriolet?
Why Does Everyone Hate This Car? It's Overpriced, But It's Not Ugly
I like it, its different from what everyone else is driving !!! Why be the same .. think out the box. Be different .
@JamboyStu This car is aimed at a wealthier demographic, or retirees, or empty-nesters. (If you know what I'm talking about.) Those types of people probably are not too concerned about fuel pricing. Please, if you have a reply, don't say anything nasty, appreciated.
Some very old comments. I wonder if he still works for CNET
I love that they made this! I would never buy it but, it is so weird that it is cool!
I appreciate that he mentions about the V6/ CVT combo the power is effortless !
These are amazing reviews!!! Cnet freaking rules! !!!
You're the best damn reviewer on TH-cam.

Derek Townsley Land rover evoque pure plus dynamic convertible
love this reviewer
same color as my regular Murano sedan .. I want
Dave Matthews. Nice choice!
I used to think it was weird, but the quirkiness is growing on me...
It's an awesome vehicle I have one and love it !!!!!
+aayonce4 I am sorry.. but LOL.
+Boris Terekidi lmao thanks
Boris Terekidi what is so wrong with it?
I just brought a used one I looove it!
This is a knee slapper lol I’m sorry for your loss

Do u still have this
I like that the roof looks like toupee
thats the most frightening car i have even seen. final destination -concept car.
I wish they did that with the Infiniti FX.
For a luxury car price isnt bad. People pay 50,000-60,000 for a bmw 5 or 7 series. Pretty common around where ilive.
whats next a lexus rx convertible ?
@Trihawk7 The search bar is there for a reason.
Thank you Walkthepark
Now here's an answer to a question nobody asked.
Thanks Brian. You forgot the MPG man.
MPG on the Murano sucks.
I like that car
I have that car but 2018 also same color
this is what you get when you try to combine every type of veicle in one car
@xTheShady1x You realize the GT-R is really their ONLY high performance car, right.
I like em
wow great review.. Soooo informative and to the point
Thx
SPORTS HORNSSSS XDDDDD holy shit that's hilarious lol.
That's some straight up ricer type shit hahahahahaha XD
Don't forget the seat belt extender for the audition for the biggest loser
@irafael8080 "It delivers a hoggish MPG of 17/22. Kiss that 22 goodbye, you'll never see it."
Make sure you watch a video before commenting.
What's the point of a convertible SUV if the trunk space is traded for the convertible top? Just make a convertible non-SUV...?
Clearly you are a very boring guy with a birch stick up his ass
thats HOTT!!!
its pound ft torque, not ft pound
can you please do the new scion tc review
its awesome
And for that kind of money I would much rather get a high end A4 Audi.
What a horrible idea for a car. It's the worst car design since Aztek 😝😩
Insulting A Car And Then Using Emojis....... Disgusting
B+ for Effort.
Can I see a review of a car with a price that the wage of a ... Normal person can buy??
@theballinmaster You don't dislike a video review because you don't like the subject, if you're doing that shit cut it out. A thumbs down means the video was bad, not the subject.
looks like a boat-amphibious vehicle
its kinda cool
First off, its 40k, second off its uglier than sin. Next, it has a cvt and last time i drove a nissan the cvt sucked. Thats just a few of the reasons you DONT see these cars often. I saw one the other day, I felt sorry for the person driving it.
the only reason they came out with this thing is because SUV sales are in
The only good thing about this car is its engine. The VQ35DE is brilliant Engine
COOLey!!!!
Nissan made this car just for the few people who will find this "cool", so they don't care that most people hate it, including me.
Dude, check out my sports horn! It sounds so manly. Are you jealous that I have seat belt slack and that my airbags can't be stolen?
i don't get the point of having a car like this.... they should of just turned the Murano into a coupe look and compete with the BMW x6...
hmm.. i like it
One of the strangest vehicles I've ever seen....
A Mini Cooper on steroids
Just get a Jeep if you want an open top SUV or get a proper Cabriolet.
keep telling the drawback of product. it's useful.
5:37 What song is that?
Dave Matthews Band - Tripping Billies
Randy Sullivan Seck Thank You.
It's funny when people try to make 'best of both worlds' and delivers 'worst of all worlds and beyond'
Driving around everybody's just going to ask, "What the hell is it?"
540 08 and up saab 9-3
Revisiting this today, 8/18/17, awkward Nazi reference. 😕
Show the way the roof is closed :) nissan really didnt want people to see that
I can't believe this came from the same company that makes the GT-R. SMH.
