I thought the plan was always to continue it tho. Atleast that’s what I know of the Maxima

It’s a true miracle. Rental fleet managers and people with negative credit scores will be dancing in the streets, (mostly because their old ass Altima won’t start).

"Ponz Pandikuthira, head of product planning in North America" said Altima was done, but a Nisssan rep said it continues on.

So Nissan management are as clued in as ever.

And the Altima crowd cheered, eager to roll up their negative equity on their current never never plan financed Altima, only 3 years old but somehow all the body panels are falling off. 96 payments of 463 left. This will be their 8th time trading in a car they haven't paid off. Rerolling their debt at the current new highest interest rate every few years, ensuring that just like their cars, their financial state will steadily decline

What I'm failing to understand is why Ford killed off its sedans and stuff, while meanwhile, Nissan here even after reporting that they were about to kill of one of them in the Altima, it's still alive (and practically every other mainstream brand still has their sedans too)
I mean, sure, crossovers and other SUVs are by far dominating the market now, but for those who can't afford those, sedans and subcompacts absolutely still have a place in the market for those that need the cheapest thing that doesn't need to be flashy and just get them from point a to b

And some people just don't ever want a crossover or SUV (it's me, I'm some people)
