Hmm......Did u take ur Altima to get the Headlamp Housing recall done? Power Valve recall? Never had a problem with stalling? Never had a problem with cranking?
I was a service writer for Nissan, not only the Altima is bad. Maxima, Sentra, Pathfinder, Xterra, Titan, Armada, 350Z and Murano are all crappy.
I left Nissan cuz of their poor quality cars & customers.

how can styling be an fact? i mean thats highly subjective.
When you check the pictures, they do look alike, - a lot - but at the same time, in real life, you probably would not notice it that much with Nissan's huge front and back being in spotlight.

it is just an opinion, not an fact.

I'm surprised they can get more power and yet better efficiency with a bigger engine and an older hybrid system vs. the Camry Hybrid. How much lighter is the Altima Hybrid?

it doesnt really, its 41/36 vs 40/38... It is also slower than Camry's system as well.

good point about credit....

I wonder how reliablility would hold up with these altimas. Nissan isn't known for reliability (even on an NA engine) like toyota or honda, so it would be interesting to see how they stack up. Something tells me they'll be at least two recalls

Hmm Nissan is known for it. They make some of the best engines to date. They may not use the best quality materials, but the reliablity of there cars is very good.

It is funny that the same people are saying the Altima looks exactly like the G35 but the LS460 is nothing like the 7...

Do I think Hybrid is a good alternative option? Yes.
Would I pay a premium for it? hell no.

I agree. They are different. The LS460 and 7 series are almost identical from the sides. The Altima and G35 are not.

Someone do a overlay with these two, and you will see in CLEAR VIEW they are not similar.
