Thank-you! I definitely clicked and thought 'tall PT Cruiser?' hells no.

& what the hell does it look like with the roof up? Uglier than immaginable I suspect, I can't even fathom the uglyness of that with the roof up.

cool idea, but I dont see it selling well. Then again you could probably sell a lot of them in forested areas, tourist resorts, stc. I still dont think its going to sell well, but you have to give it to Nissan for trying to create something totally new

I assume it's a typo and they meant 3.5 litre V6 making 265hp (egmcartech.com).


Hmm.... anybody remember the Suzuki X-90?

I guess they intend to replace PT Cruiser 'vert for the rental car business.

I had a Murano rental for the last few days that I drove around San Francisco and Sonoma. It's a pretty decent midsized SUV. However, the trunk was rather small. With a convertible top taking up some of that space, this thing will be utterly useless as an SUV.
