And that answer should hopefully be different than: I choose Nissan because my credit score is 300, I have $38k in debt to rollover into a new car loan, I’m opposed to insurance, and I like driving 98 in a 60, weaving with no signals.
I always see this stereotype but it must be a regional/American thing. In my part of Canada at least that stereotype would apply to Dodge, more specifically Dodge Journeys.
I rented an Altima once. I may have been overcome with it’s aura once or twice during the trip. That 4-banger is more than capable of hitting 100+ quite easily.

I’m still driving a 2010 Versa equipped with one of their last automatic transmissions and it’s going strong. They used to have great affordably priced cars up until they introduced their horrendous CVTs. I’ve never been so disappointed with their offerings until test driving an Altima equipped with one. If you’re not consistent with maintenance on the thing it’ll end up costing you thousands of dollars to replace later. Add on the case that they made their vehicles the worst rated car for privacy by Mozilla (which is really saying something) and now you have a company that became very irrelevant in the 2010s onward.
It’s sad a car company with such a great legacy might end up going away, but they brought this upon themselves by cutting corners in production costs, raising their prices beyond what’s reasonable, and selling out their customer’s privacy for an easy buck.

They need to answer the most basic question. Why should someone choose to buy a Nissan over its competitors?

¿Por que no los dos?

The long loss of appeasing Reagan and these other dead dummies. “It’s not like planes will fall out of the sky. …Oh shit.”
