Surprised that Nissan sold 123K plus auto's. I just do not get the vibe that they sell much or guess not that much in my area as I rarely seem them like VW. Both are not popular here, in fact more Mazda and Subarus than them.

Do you drive through the ghetto or trailer parks? Or rental lots. Half of those are rentals and the other half are cheapo pieces of sh!t sold for nothing so they go to the "less fortunate".

I would have to drive a couple hours south to the military base to find the lower income areas, so yea, based on what you say that could explain not seeing as much as other places.

I mean I was being a huge smartass but they do seem to have killer deals all the time, probably because they need to to sell them.

Sorry but picking up sarcasm was never a strength of mine. But Washington state has a highly educated labor force and as such, low income areas are south of Tacoma below the military base, While you do see the occasional Nissan SUV / pickup or Infinity, they do not have much of a presence in this state for some reason.

Hahaha, it's okay. It's difficult to read sarcasm through words without tone. 

I don't notice brand new stuff too often but I do see plenty of older Altimas. They seem like a dime a dozen. 

A buddy of mine recently bought a Rogue... I tried to convince him to get ANY other CUV in that class but they got him by selling it for dirt cheap. Ohhh well..

I see plenty of Muranos and Rogues around here, as I did in Phoenix..the other models, not so much...
