Why is the Altima dying on the vine? That car used to sell minimum 20K units per month. I don't believe it's in its transitional phase from the old to new model anymore. Granted, it is not an attractive car, but that's never been important in its segment.

True, but that dumping occurs in the first quarter of every year. Then it usually cruises the rest of the year with 20k/month.

Also, Infiniti is a lost cause. They have 4 viable SUV options that no one is gravitating to. Acura has 2 SUVs that are outselling the combined 4.
