Looks are one thing. Using it is quite another.

What's wrong with using it? I feel like its perfectly fine.

Once you push it to the right from park... Just pull it back (and slightly towards you) and it'll naturally go through the "zig zag" and end up in D.

I don't find it hard/confusing/Bad/etc. I actually prefer it.

Nice shifter console IMO.... Looks a lot better than years past for sure... Now can just change the Maxima's front grill?

I love the Maxima's grill. I hope they don't change it.

2013 Nissan Altima Accidentally Revealed in Promo Vid

Over the past few months, the 2013 Nissan Altima has slowly been dropping more and more camo. 1st we caught it with very heavy cladding which was followed by a lighter version of the same thing, but on a red car, and then finally, Nissan ditched the baggy stuff altogether and put some 3M tape covered in swirls.

Now we've got an even cleaner look courtesy of Nissan Japan's Youtube site. The video, celebrating 30 years of production at Nissan Technical Center, briefly shows a pre-pre-pre-production 2013 Altima with no camo testing. We can clearly see the new headlights, swoopy bodywork and a new, sharper grille.

I pray that's not it. The sagging 90's Buick/Oldsmobile character line looks weak, dopey, and feminine. =(
Nice 2006-7 IS250 rims btw.

Zig-zag shifters can be annoying when you're trying to rock the vehicle to get out of snow.

The Altima has always looked like something else (J30, Lexus GS) and seems they are going to make it a copy of the M37/56. It usually works for them as that side looks just like the Innfiniti M37. Or maybe that is an Infiniti version of an Altima we are unaware of?
The car has been selling very well, wonder will they keep the coupe version.

UGLY and inside is ummmm UGLY!!! Maybe it's just the color.

The Altima will draw most of it's styling cues from the Ellure concept.

I thought the same thing...looks just like the M.

LexFather

Thank you There is no Allure in that pic at all, where that is sharp and taunt, this pic looks nearly exactly like the M37/56. They are doing a very poor job separating the brands b/c they are still the same brand in Japan.

Disagree. We're comparing a single fender as that's all that's visible in the prototype picture. Better to wait until we see the WHOLE car before we start saying what it looks like.

LexFather

gotdamn you replied in 20 minutes

Side looks the exact same. I agree wait on the whole car.

Not as far a departure from the current model as the supposed concept for the Altima shown a year or two ago eluded to.
