Sad to hear the Yukon had to go but we understand the decision that had to be made in your best interest. If the Nissan starts to act up, let us know so we can help get you in another GM vehicle

Thanks for the offer. I still have 2 Camaros & a Sierra in the driveway/garage. I'm still basicly a General Motors gal, raised by a GM dad. I just did not find a GM product in the curent lineup to meet my current daily commute challenges & that I was pleased with the look of all in one package.

I see,

Definitely appreciate the GM loyalty being shown in your family. That sums it up pretty well!

I agree OP, I needed a mid size car for travel tried the maliboohya, surge, volt, opal hahaha. Nothing out there so I had to get the 2LT. I just don't know if I could go to Nissan or any other non big three.. I will say my brother had a Nissan pick up that was horrible in the rain, but that was in the 90's LOL! Anyways congrats and good luck.

I will add to the above: that I could afford. I looked at the CTS, which I would have loved to have, but even the used ones would have put me above what I wanted for a monthly payment. We still have payments on both Camaros.

Would you of gotten a new FWD Monte Carlo if they still made one (updated not something from the 90's), or were you looking for a 4 cylinder coupe only. Mid size 4 cylinder coupes are dying out, good thing you got one of the last Altima Coupes.

There's a reason Accord Coupe is the only one left.

And before anyone jumps down my throat, if I had it my way there would be a Malibu coupe. It wouldn't sell, but there would be one.

And you 1000% correct. People wanted an alternative manual sedan to caddies and we got the regal but I doubt they sell many manuals. People are whining about the SS being an auto but manuals wouldn't sell. Count me as one who would love a non-turd Monte Carlo type but there's just not enough demand to justify building it.

OP, congrats on the Tima. Those are great cars. I really like them and they are great DDs.

I might have looked seriously at the Malibu if there had been a 6 cylinder option but it is still not very sexy looking. Yeah, something in the Monte Carlo style updated might have been nice. I wanted some style in my ride. I wanted some get-up-and-go in my daily driver so I could pass with confidence but still be able to manage safely in bumper-to-bumper traffic and in all weather. The Cruze has kept mileage off my Camaro but it spoiled my view of 4 cylinder Chevys. Then there is the every-sedan-on-the-road look to them. Just not a fan.

I drove Pepper (Yep, that is her new name - the Altima coupe), to work for the first time today. It is a very nice driving car. The keyless entry & start is pretty cool. It handled the steep hills easily with relatively low RMP's, it was easy to handle in heavy traffic & I could see well this morning in the dence fog. So far so good.

But yeah, I would have rather had a nice Chevy. :(
Still I don't feel too badly. Nissan has been pretty good to Middle Tennessee and my very first car as a teen was a Datson B210.
