Altima is a hit.

I agree, some fanatics were complaining it's not 'different looking enough', but then they don't buy cars, they are dweebs who just look at pictures.

Glad to see the Altima doing well. It's and excellent car, and one of my favorite midsizers. I have yet to see any of them though. Strangely, I've seen quite of few refreshed Maximas. I haven't seen too many Versas...but I've seen a lot of new Sentras...I saw 2 more just today.

I never really warmed up to the Altima until I started seeing the advertising for it. That 3-D character line is hot, especially in the color that is shown in the commercials. I also like the taillights now. Push-button start is standard on all models...very nice, IMO.

You've seen them... you just didn't notice they were the new body style.

Honestly, I wish Nissan well: STEAL SALES FROM TOYOTA!

However, the Maxima is now pointless with the new Altima. Nissan needs to come up with something original in order to justify remodeling the Maxima.
