Versa will be gone after MY 2025, Altima after 2026.

There's a Kia sedan (whatever it's called) that's essentially the "new" Altima. Big Altima Energy will be missed for the memes though.

It's just not the same without the baby mama Hellcat power delivery of the CVT.

Dodge Journey is gone too, so the options are dwindling. The Jeep Compass is still around though....

I definitely won't miss either the Altima or Versa. I've had an Altima as a rental twice in the past few years, and it is....not good. Very uncomfortable, like it's a big car designed for little people.

There was a time the Dodge Nitro was competing with the Altima for "that spot".

Kinda sad. I think the latest Altima was actually a decent way to get around. The Versa, too, seems like a far cry from its dollar-store prior generations.

It honestly feels like the new entry level car is a used car. But, used cars are more expensive than they used to be, too. So, it's all messed up.

Nissan is a dead brand unfortunately.
They have no money and really no compelling products.
GTR is dead after this year.
Nobody is buying the Ariya EV nonsense.

Just came back from UK and the Chinese automakers will be very hard to beat in the next 5-10 years. The US will be forced to let them in eventually. They took over most of the British brands including Lotus, MG, Lynk etc and other European brands like Volvo, Polestar, Smart.

GS69 posted Nissan's sales and they weren't good. Titan is dead too. Has anyone seen a new Z? I haven't.

The Frontier is the only bright spot in the entire Nissan lineup.

I don’t like either of the sedans Nissan is killing off and have never been a fan of the brand. Altimas are best known in SoCal for being a top choice of *** hole drivers. Both sedans have a reputation of being a car of choice for people with less than stellar credit. Of course, the Rogue has that reputation too and that’s probably the future vehicle choice for the same drivers.
