And Nissan still has the worst fit and finish in the industry.
I almost bought an Altima hybrid for my wife... However one trip to the dealer and Nissan was out of the running... Out of 34 brand new Altima Hybrids on the lot, I couldn't find a single one with a halfway decent fit and finish... The gaps on the doors, hoods, trunks, tail lights etc. were all off by a huge margin... Not a single one was straight... I looked at all the other Nissans on the lot and couldn't find a single one with a decent fit and finish... I don't know how a body and collision shop would even consider dealing with a Nissan... And don't get me started on Nissan paint... If you go to a dealership and look at any of the dark colored cars, all their paint is spider cracked (easier to see on a dark paint). Since then I started paying attention to other Nissans on the road and in parking lots and they are all cr@p... It's like someone made a bet that Americans were so incredibly stupid that they would buy anything and that person is winning the bet. All the other auto makers do a decent fit and finish... Why does Nissan do such a horrid job at it?
They could drop the leaf to 10 grand and I might consider it, but that is still a very slim might.
