My wife has a 2008 Honda Element, a boxy car also with a fairly straight up windshield, and she has gotten several chips in hers also. I think it's just due to the angle of the windshield and the aerodynamics (or lack of) in a car such as these. I don't think there's anything to do with changes in the glass, just the angle of it. So I doubt Nissan or any auto company will do anything about this as it would probably require redesigning the car to slope the winshield more, and that would ruin the look they have gotten with the car that we all bought.
