I don’t know anything about this particular story, but it does feel like a lot of times we take credit as the US for what are international achievements. Like anything, just because the rich guy can do it first, doesn’t mean he’s better at it or had the idea before other people that don’t have tons of cash to throw at…

OK, replace Altima with Accord if your Altima hate is blinding you. Accords are even lighter and are a better comparison.

After some googling, I am surprised to find them so similarly-dimension-ed, despite being in different EPA classes. I’ve spent some time in both, the Altima seems cavernous on the inside comparatively.

How does the 330 weigh 300 pound more than a Nissan Altima for example.

I disagree that it’s more comfortable to sit at a 15 degree angle. We don’t sit in bathtubs in living rooms, we sit in chairs. If the distance from the back of the seat to the end of the footwell is the same, I’m not sure why that space being taller would mean it’s more cramped.

Totally possible, but I just mean to say that each iteration seems to be snarling more and more, and Kavanaugh is the most prominent snarler of the moment, no?

They say in the ad copy that they are attempting to show its luggage room and that it has a folding rear seat. I’m not sure what else you want them to do here.

Every generation of 3 series is just getting more and more Brett Kavanaugh-faced.

Raise what $1? You actually think the $419 excuse is legit? 420, 419, whatever, it still wasn’t based on anything factual.

Sometimes I regret buying a pickup instead of an SUV, but then I see stuff like this.

I’ll take a Sentra rental over a Jeep Renegade rental any day. I’m not saying Sentra is a great car relative to other econo compact sedans, I’m saying it’s better than econo compact CUVs.

Those people should get a Corolla.

Those people should buy a Camry, and yeah, don’t buy a used Nissan.

No, but why does something have to be impressive to be useful for 3 years of flogging the shit out of a car?

How does making something taller make it shorter in length tho? I get that the taller seating position allows your leg to sit more comfortably at 45 degrees, but if anything that should make the demands for legroom less, yet I fee more crammed in SUVs than in sedans generally.

Most of the segment is pretty bad int his regard. I was generally characterizing the whole lineup. The Altima and Maxima make up for the Sentra relative to their respective price points/segments.

A Maxima hold together just long enough for a 39 month lease. I can attest that it can even do this under very hard driving.

Yeah, had all that shit in the Outback my wife had before this Legacy, and I still feel way better about my delicate groceries being back there. I guess that could also be a function of suspension. The Outback was bouncy while this Legacy is silky smooth.

And another thing! Trunks are nice, if I go to the grocery store I’m taking my wife’s Legacy. Your groceries are just safer and more cozy in the trunk.
