This doesn't go into what type of car they were shopping, if they were actually intending to purchase a car at the time, their budget, nothing substantial whatsoever. This could be swayed alone by loyalty cash and/or financing incentives. I guarantee you these were poll results - which in itself is laughable.

Just because I don't shop a Nissan for my next car doesn't mean I don't like the brand - it means I know their current offerings and none fit my taste within my purchase window. Likewise, if I did shop Nissan again it doesn't mean I'm loyal to the brand - it means they have something that peaked my interest at the time, and still doesn't result in actual sales.

This is speculation reporting at its finest, and the same reason oil jumps a dollar a gallon when someone mentions the word "shortage", even if they were just referring to Danny DeVito.
Do sales numbers not reflect it?
