Also- love it or hate it, Nissan makes the Juke.
Which styling-wise is anything but bland and appliance like.

And the Juke can be had with a manual transmission and ~200 hp turbocharged engine.

Get that weak shit off my track
Generally speaking, I hate what they've done to the Pathfinder. We've almost had a Nissan continuously since 93'. (If you include Infiniti). This design, I really don't get. I view the Maxima as more upscale and better looking than the Altima. I preferred the Maxima as a RWD car, but of course you can get that with the Infiniti variants.
Looks like... a Japanese Dodge Charger?
'Tis sharp. I kind of wish the bikini roof would have connected over the front windshield. The fanny is a little busy but nothing bad; does look like a Volvo rear end, tho'. Needs new rims.
Ok should have clarified, I meant normal car, not crossover cute-utes or wtf-mobiles (juke/cube) she despises all of those. I'm still waiting on nissan to take juke engine in the throw it in a light rwd car.
Versa, I missed that you could get them in a manual in the low model. the soon to be FIL has a sedan, thing is appliance to the max, painfully slow and hideous to look at it, I would take a low mileage B13, B14 and B15 sentra over one of these.
Sentra, I do like the styling, but again base model is the only thing that gets the manual, I cant bring myself to ever buy a base model anything unless it was to be a track car.
370Z, I almost sold my xterra and 240sx for a nismo last year, but I couldn't bring myself to give up 2 for 1.
Xterra/Frontiers are pretty much the same design as the '05 and will probably be going away soon, but I like that they still have the 6 speed in them.
I don't hate this concept, but it doesn't get me excited. I keep looking for reasons to trade the xterra in, but Nissan hasn't given me any good ones.
Hm, normal car you say. So you want an Altima with a manual then? I'm not sure what you're asking for.
Perhaps if they built this: http://www.autoblog.com/2013/11/20/n...ncept-la-2013/
It would be great if they built the IDx, for sure...
Altimas with V6s and manuals are sweet. It's a shame they don't offer them anymore.

Was riding in my dad's Maxima the other day, it's still funny when ~300 HP is used with a CVT maximum highway merge acceleration. Revs shoot up and stay there, everything just gets closer faster, from 25 to 75 quicker than you'd think.
Engaging and empowering? No. Entertaining? Yes.
I think CVTs work better with 6 cylinders than with 4.
