Randomly came across this article on the possibility of a BMW Convertible SUV, did some googling, thought itll be interesting to share.

How entertaining is the idea of this? Taking a muscular and rugged SUV/Crossover body and mashing it up with a soft-top of a convertible car? SUVs have been massive in recent years, gaining more and more traction. Moving forward will we be seeing more automakers chopping off the roofs of their SUVs?? How weird is it, really? Pretty damn weird to me when you have 3 rows of seats, and with 7 to 8 people inside. [dead]

 

Here's taking a walk down memory lane.

"The strange ugly car that everyone wants: The Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet", as described on one automotive site.

The Evoque. Arguable a lot less weird looking than the Murano.

I wud think if someone buys an SUV it wud be for the boot space, the ruggedness of it, the ability to traverse all terrains, weather.... The Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet has the boot space that's even lesser than a VW Beetle. And if you buy a convertible it's because you want people to be able to stare at you better, because you don't have a motorcycle license but you want to feel the wind, and you want to experience how it feels to drive under the rain..... Hahaha........................ 
 

And if you get a Convertible SUV, you get best of both worlds, not? 

 

Convertible SUVs aren't anything new but they're still weird and awkward. Maybe a BMW convertible can make me change my mind.  [laugh]  [bounce2]  but I low ses. So no money to buy anyway......................... My thread is titled BMW but content only 10% BMW because I want to win tix to BMW WORLD la. Haha.
