Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet Media Event
This week I’m packing my bags and flying to my high school hometown of Dallas for a short two-day trip. All month long, Nissan is celebrating the release of their new 2011 Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet – the world’s first crossover convertible – with media events in San Diego, Dallas and Palm Beach and I was one of the lucky to be invited. Yes, being considered media has its perks and this is one opportunity I was not about to pass up.
Apparently the Murano Cross Cabriolet is a terrific travel car with a spacious trunk and lots of luxury amenities. Convertibles always make me think of adventure Thelma and Louise style but minus the drastic ending. Of course, this media event is more than just cars. I’m arriving on Thursday morning and am really excited to stay in Uptown at the swanky Hotel ZaZa – can the name sound any more Hollywood? Photos on the website reveal a plush boutique hotel with custom-designed suites and ostentatious decor.
That evening attendees will meet during a cocktail reception which is followed by a welcome dinner – no details have been revealed about these events yet. The next morning the schedule is busy with breakfast, vehicle and design presentations, walk-around, ride and drive to the elegant Nasher Sculpture Center. We finish with lunch then back to Minneapolis I fly. It will be a quick but fun trip!
Stayed tuned for photos of the event and the new flashy Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet. And follow the event on twitter. Just search for #muranocrosscabriolet.










Caught my eye! I love convertables. I drive one — and have kept it this long mainly because golf clubs still fit in the trunk. (so many new models have the hard top in the trunk.) I’ll have to check it out!
