TWO MORE ICONIC SEDANS KILLED... THIS NEEDS TO STOP

EV Channels Review

The video laments the discontinuation of the Nissan Altima and Versa, highlighting a broader trend of sedans being phased out in favor of crossovers. While acknowledging the Altima's historical significance and positive attributes like V6 engine options and stylish coupe variants, the reviewer points to Nissan's problematic CVT transmissions as a major factor in its declining reputation and eventual demise. The Versa is also noted as a budget-friendly option, but its value proposition is questioned against used alternatives. The reviewer expresses skepticism about Nissan's future EV sedan plans, suggesting a potential delay and uncertainty. The latter part of the video shifts to Toyota, discussing the return of the Hakone Edition GR86 and Toyota's investment in the IONNA charging network, aiming to provide a more convenient, gas-station-like charging experience. The overall sentiment is one of sadness for the loss of affordable sedans, with a critical view of Nissan's product strategy and reliability concerns.
