I would take the juke over a convertible murano. That might be the worst looking production vehicle I’ve ever seen. 

Convertible PT Cruiser might have it beat.

In my eyes it’s close but the murano just nudged it out. The PT is down right hideous in it’s own right. However the basic murano used to be an “acceptable” looking vehicle. The convertible completely ruins it.

There used to me a PT in the town I grew up with that was absolutely pimped out in “chrome” (reflective plastics) fake intakes and hood ornaments. To spend money just further degrading the aesthetics is beyond me.

Never a fan of the prowler, a souped up cruiser in my opinion

As the saying goes - beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I give Plymouth a ton of credit for the Prowler. They were essentially going bankrupt and still were able to come up with the Prowler for a last ditch effort. The problem was the Chrysler 300 V6 they stuck in them. They didn't have the money for anything else. The interior is a mashup of Dodge, Chrysler, and Plymouth models. Good looking vehicle but that's about all it had going for it. They've been slowly creeping up in value as it was such a weird car for its time.

I hadn't even heard of, nor seen, a Murano ragtop, had to type it in to Googlez Imagez.
Oof-dah.
The PT Cruiser ragtop made me giggle, and I thought about owning one for a bit; diff'rent strokes...

It was a free punch when you saw a PT Bruiser with your siblings.

We played “slug bug” with the VW beetles but have never heard of the Bruiser. I’ll have to keep that in mind the next time I see one and the kids are with me.

Padiddle, slug bug too

@WeberWho

Lol. New one for me as well.

Was scrolling through some old photos and saw this one, which I neglected to post at the time. I am far from an expert, but looks like it’s probably from the 80s. Kinda cool to see an older one like this being maintained. Bet the mechanic bills aren’t cheap at that vintage.

Testarossa maybe?

I just read an article about different Porsche concept models that almost came to fruition. I came across this Cayenne and I didn't want to disappoint @saluki2007 and not post it. Perfect new background picture for his phone.

Dang, even someone who owns a car like that can’t afford to shop at Whole Foods these days…

Only way you could have done better is if there was an Aztek on that lot.

Now that the Aztec challenge has been completed, we need another challenge. Maybe in another thread so we don't spoil the intent of this one.

I think the rules should be amended to include a selfie with said vehicle in frame.  Prevents googling!

I'm not taking your comment as to say that you think I cheated because I don't think you're saying that say all. 

Just stating that on the left hand side of the pic is my 2005 Ford excursion. Further proof can be provided if there is any doubt. I thought another challenge could be 2 Azteks in the same shot?

Not implying that at all!  I just meant for future challenges!  Sorry if you took it that way.

I’d like to see a pic of a Volvo P1800.

Just sayin’
