Well, there's only so much you dump into your fleet output, I suppose.

Indeed. The new Altima will do nothing to change the slide.

THis shows that the Nissan cars do not sell unless there is money on the hood. THe cars are now long in the tooth and are about to be replaced - just when sedans have stopped selling as well.

"...cars do not sell unless there is money on the hood...." Well, that's all the mainstream brands. Really? Who brags about paying the dealer's listed price for a new car? Honda, Toyota, Mazda, Chevy, etc.

Heck...the Honda dealers been running ads about trade-in deals on new sedans. A week after seeing those adverts, I start seeing dozens of new Honda's with the 30-day tags on the streets. Everybody's putting money on the hood to move units off the lots. Obviously some brands are offering more than others.
