There’s nothing else on the road like the Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet, though that exclusivity is both a strength and a weakness. On the one hand, Nissan’s willingness to put a distinctive, unique product out for sale means it’s more likely to come up in conversation. The problem with a limited-production niche model, luxurious and individualistic as it may be, is actually getting people to purchase it. Roll in the devastating earthquake that struck Japan in May when Nissan was in the earliest days of Murano CrossCabriolet production, and you wind up with a supply shortage that coincides with a vehicle launch - a bad problem to have.
Murano sales are down, and even though CrossCabriolet sales aren’t broken out from the rest of the line, we suspect the model hasn’t caught fire in the marketplace to the degree Nissan wants it to. A price drop from $46,390 to $44,540 for 2012 Murano CrossCabriolet models will help sweeten the deal for buyers seeking a two-door four-place crossover vehicle with a power-folding top and plenty of luxury accoutrements, but the price change isn’t necessarily what it seems. Navigation moves from standard equipment to an available stand-alone option, suggesting that the $1,850 price dip is the result of decontenting. That said, as it’s based on the top-trim Murano LE, there’s not much for CrossCabriolet buyers to want for (although if they were yearning for Pearl White paint, that’s a new addition for 2012). Chart the changes for the entire Murano range in the official Nissan press release after the jump.Continue reading Nissan drops price on Murano CrossCabriolet… sort of
