    Definitely a mistake. People are still buying sedans but the price and lack of redesign is deterring people from just getting a crossover instead. It doesn’t help that the design has gone stale. As a former Nissan owner, Nissan has gotten so lazy in their designs and technology. The Maxima was neglected for too long and they’ve done it a huge disservice. Then there’s the horrible CVTs they insist on using, and then rolling out the Armada as all new when it was just a rebadged 2011 Nissan Patrol brought to the states. The Versa, Sentra, and Altima are boring cars and just remind me of flip phones still in existence for people who don’t want smartphones. Like they’ll offer them but won’t make them anything remarkable. Why get a Sentra or Versa when you could get a Mazda 3? Why get a Rogue when you can get a CX-5? Give these vehicles some real performance power and updated tech without resorting to cheap materials.

    Great video! It's not Nissan that's making the mistake, it's the public. I bought mine new in 2016 and now have 140,000 miles. Perfect car (for me, but I'm single). The best thing I love about it are the passing times; 30-50 & 50-70 mph - if you check out Car and Driver, they have some of the fastest around (in its class, not electric, of course); so you really shock everyone on the highway if you floor it when passing (but let's keep it safe, people). And I can't buy electric, I live in an apartment.

Antifreeze - no more than 3 yrs (forget about those long life promises, just do it, it's good not only for the corrosion, but it lubricates the water pump bearing!). Brake fluid - no more than 3 yrs; earlier if it's contaminated (gets dark in color).

      Let me be that person to just throw the truth about there. A business (Nissan or any other) is in business to make a product. If one or more of your products isn’t selling (Maxima and Titan) it’s time to move on. It doesn’t matter how great a product is if people aren’t buying it. Is it sad for people who love that product? Of course it is. Is sad you a company when they fell they have to discontinue a legacy product? Of course it is, but once again it’s better to discontinue a product(s) than to drag the whole company down with products that aren’t selling.

    More customers prefer to spend 40k on murano than a mid size sedan which is better in snowy weather. Sedans are for those who can't afford an SUV where the altima was successful but where the maxima failed in sales. Nissan could of made the maxima into a sports type of design but than again its just a V6 that could produce 300 HP not unique. You could blame nissan for offering the rogue at a cheaper price than maxima. They plan of offering an electric vehicle in its place😅
