Pretty dissapointing V6 highway mileage, especially seeing as it has a CVT. It would probably be lower with a conventional auto tranny. City mileage is pretty good though, as are interior dimensions.
It will be interesting to see how the Altima hybrid (with older Toyota tech) stacks up to the Camry Hybrid.

Let's not forget, 4 cylinder versions account for the vast majority of sales in this class. And in that class, the Altima has more power than anything else and gets better mileage than anything else. That's a pretty good combo in my book. Judging from the specs, and the preliminary positive reviews about the interior, Nissan has brought their A game to this segment, IMO.

I do agree that the hwy mpg could be a bit better. But we are talking about a pretty torquey engine here, and the CVT wouldn't necessarily help with the mpg during hwy cruising.
That said, I'd take the Altima's mpg over the Accord's, the "perceived" mpg leader among many a layfolk.

The big question mark on the new Altima, of course, is what the interior quality will be like....clearly a VERY weak point on the last-generation one after Ghosn took over Renault-Nissan and started his famous cost-cutting, although some efforts were made in 2005 and 2006 to use better-quality materials inside, especially on the dash.
Even though the facts say it, people will always think that 4-cylinder Camry is better with gas mileage and power than the Accord or Altima because of the Camry hybrid halo.
You've heard it in the news and ads: the Camry can go up to 45 miles a gallon!!! The Camry has 268 horsepower!!!
That's a great halo. Too bad no one was talking about the 4-cylinder engine, which makes up 80% of the Camry sales...

Agreed. Although the first Altima, in 1993 ( and I remember it well...I was very impressed with it ) was very pleasant to drive......smooth and quiet, with a buttery-smooth automatic transmission ), most Altimas since then have been firmed up into sports or semi-sports sedans, especially the SE and recent SE-R models. The new Altima, if these characteristics are continued, will impact on the Accord much more than the Camry, which retains the smooth, quiet characteristics the Altima had years ago but moved away from. The Accord, in general, has a somewhat firmer and sportier feel to it than the Camry.
