Top 10 Cars Americans Aren’t Buying

8. Nissan Maxima

Surprised that the Nissan Maxima is on this list? Well don’t be, considering the current model has a starting price of $31,810. While Nissan likes to bill it as a luxury sedan, the Maxima’s price and what you get doesn’t always add up. The sedan is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine with 290 hp and gets 19 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway, but it’s pricey for its segment. The average Maxima sits in inventory for 125 days before being sold, but that’s not to say they’re not selling at all. So far this year, 31,749 units have moved, but that’s almost 25 percent less than last year’s numbers.
