I think Altimas might actually be very safe cars.  We had a lady out here in the NW who got rear-ended by a semi-truck and the truck ended up completely on top of her car.  Once they got the truck off and got her out, she walked away.  Also, you see so many tapped out Altimas because they must be pretty good cars to…

Exactly, 45 degrees is a very bad roll. Like everything would be on the deck.  I’m not even sure all cruise ships could recover from a roll that big. 

I’ve always wondered if making your batteries with many small cylindrical cells was such a good idea.  There must be a better way, and I think most other car makers have decided that also. 

Electrically operated door latches should be legislated out of existence.  There is no practical reason for them. 

Nice looking rig, but unless it’s got low-range or some sort of granny-gear, it will always be a pretender. 

If you’ve seen the Monroe video of them tearing down a Rivian, it would be no surprise that they are having a hard time making money.  The things are over-engineered to the max.  Way too unnecessarily complicated.  Can somebody just make a simple electric truck?

I’m guessing we will be seeing these things on VW lots. 

I wish folks would quit shitting on the Altima.

I hope it has a good warranty.

I’ve said this many times, but if you aren’t shifting your own gears, who cares?  Not like any slushbox is that fun to drive either.  My biggest beef with CVTs is that they often put fake shift points in them just to make folks feel better about it.  We don’t need that and I think folks don’t really care about that…

Exactly. The engine hump takes up half the passenger foot-well. The switch-gear is from GM’s “Fisher-Price” era (honestly the toys are made better). The door latches are really clunky. That being said though, the configuration was unique. Not quite a full-size van, but also not a minivan. Too bad the execution was so…

The rogue won a cars.com comparison and maybe another one. Jalop folks are too hard on Nissan. They’ll pull through one way or another. I haven’t had too many experiences with their dealers but i did get one to do a recall replacement of my then 20+ yo frontier’s fuel tank. It was no problem. Many Nissan dealers in…

I think there’s grounds for a suit. They built cars with un-chipped ignitions, all the way to 2022 I believe. This is kind of insane, considering most manufacturers had been doing chipped ignitions since at least the early 2000s. They made a steering wheel lock/ignition that was extremely easy to defeat also. I’m…

Yeah I’m sure there are some issues with cvts, but I still see the original Muranos driving around from time to time.

I think the feds should have sued Hyundai a while ago to force them to fix their cars.  They literally are primarily responsible for the current auto-theft crime wave. 

Nissan is in a very worrying spot right now.  I think they have been usurped by the likes of Hyundai.  They should be where Hyundai is now if they had played their cards right.  I still think their vehicles are plenty decent, just not stellar.  Might be some good deals to be had if they have to slash prices.  They…

Totally disagree.  First gen is a really nice looking truck to my eyes.  No big macho grille or any of that garbage. 

If you make that much effing money, just buy a place where you work. I’m sure he can find a nice $3 mil bungalow somewhere around town. Heck there’s probably a penthouse somewhere in that old Sears building that is Starbuck’s HQ.

This is no good, does this mean there will not be another skyline?  I rented one once, these were fine cars in my opinion.  Only weird thing was their dual screen infiniti goofiness. 

Well the old Mirage was really the Lancer, so it’s kind of an apples to oranges comparison. It would be more fair to compare it to a base model Colt from 1993, but I don’t think we got that in the states. Regardless, we lose something when there are no more basic, cheap cars to buy.
