Nissan truck sales increased more than 10%. The aging Altima is singlehandedly to blame for the decrease in sales. The Altima is usually on the same cycle as the Accord in terms of new generation releases and refreshes, but we have yet to see anything on the new Altima.

For Infiniti, the QX30 is to blame. Not sure why that product went stale so quickly.

@cidflekken - I understand there are shots of the new Altima, but they let the current design drag on too long. Sales are suffering because of it.
