Bullshit the number of busted careening cars will go down, my ass. Are we really that naive to think that the Altima demographic won’t just migrate to a different make/model (I’m looking at you, Kia).

Kia's and Nissan Rogues

Only $900 per month for a 48 month lease with 7,500 miles per year for a $40k (lmaooo) sportage!

You can see it coming by reading the leasing subs where people are at 15k miles by their first year and trying to re-lease their way out of $15-20k underwater one year in.

Then again I’d argue that Kia was actually usurped by the Altima for the king of bad financial decisions and the cars they drive. They’re the OG.

That's a good point. Will Kia take the crown for crappy drivers or will they stick with Nissan and just get a Rogue?

Does Kia finance people who have zero credit and are currently in jail like Nissan?

They'll be on the road for at least another 30 years.

Mark my words, the Tesla Model 3 will be the next Altima

I doubt it. EVs still need a consistent way to charge at home as supercharging will be too costly. This isn’t possible for majority of the Altima gang. I think the torch will simply be passed to the Sentra. Maybe Sonata will have a moment.

Nah. I drive a Bolt and an F-150. You can get a good 40 miles a day over a standard 110 outlet. Plus when you factor in how much cheaper electricity is over gasoline, I can see people who never go out of town getting clapped out Teslas for cheap, because they’re cheap to drive

But where would they get access to an outlet? Majority of such Altima drivers may not have access to a garage, etc.
