G35 is a hit, Altima isn't as successful as first appeared

Altima isn't as successful as first appeared...

Want to explain how over a 10% percent rise in sales over last February and a 23.7% increase in total sales over last year isn't successful?

Altima was never intended to 'overtake' the Camry. Let Toyota sell to the average dweebs.

I'm sure Nissan wouldn't complain if they would sell 40k Altimas next month.

10% for a new MY is nothing to get excited about.

Profit is better then quantity. Toyo dealers sell Camrys for small profit, just so they push up the sales #'s. Sounds like GM and Ford tactics. Toyota gets its profits from Lexus and trucks.

Again, I say let Toyota sell to the penny pinching nerds biege Camrys with plastic wheel covers.

BTW: Only 32,000 Camrys sold in Feb, not "40K".
