Nissan Altima
Nissan’s largest passenger car, the Altima, is no longer the popular sedan it once was. Sales are falling in favour of SUVs, as is the case for the competition. Even with standard all-wheel drive and a fuel-efficient powertrain, the Altima doesn't seem to make a compelling enough case versus rivals like the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord. On the other hand, it still manages to offer a comfortable and affordable alternative to SUVs.
