Re: The Camry is inside the New Altima
Let me guess now that the hybrid Altima will come in at least 3-4 MPG below the average for the TCH, once it is up and running in the database.

Re: The Camry is inside the New Altima
Before committing to buy the TCH I considered the 07 Altima (non Hybrid). I wanted the smart key, leather, Nav etc...Well when I went down to the dealer and sat in an 07 Altima with leather I was very disappointed. The seat was horrible. My wife and I looked at each other and wanted to get up and walk out. The seats were hard. We couldn't imagine sitting on those seats for any length of time. Just to make sure it wasn't THAT car that had hard seats, we sat in another Altima and it was the same story...

Re: The Camry is inside the New Altima
I will go out on a limb and predict a 2 MPG better listing for the altima than the TCH.
BTW, I was driving in city settings today, and never got less than 41 MPG in the rain with most times around the 43 MPG range.
On the way home I took the freeway, and got 45 MPG over a 65 mile drive. WTF? Don't know how as I was driving 70 - 75 MPH wich I almost never do.

Re: The Camry is inside the New Altima
Saw my first Altima Hybrid today, drove behind it for a few blocks, and I gotta say that it is a much better looking car than the TCH. With dual exhaust, it looks just like an Altima SE. I prefer the "sporty" look, so I would definitely have chosen the Altima over the Camry if I was only looking at the outside (which is also why my TCH is looking more and more like a CamrySE each week). Only time will tell if the Altima hybrid engine is as good as the Camry, given the fact that Nissan licensed the HSD from Toyota.

Altima Hybrid is available in California, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, Rhode Island, Maine and New Jersey. Service of hybrid components outside those states is limited and could involve some days delay.
Sucks for most of us!

It also can be sold in bordering states. For instance, I've seen it advertised at a dealer here in Oregon. Of course this doesn't help if you are in the Midwest or South.

Re: The Camry is inside the New Altima
Coming from someone who [i'm embarrassed to admit] owned a G6 and also looked at an Altima, you are absolutely right. I couldn't pinpoint exactly WHAT I didn't like about the Altima til I read this post. I really didn't like the G6 interior... or exterior for that matter. I kick myself daily for ever being guilted into buying such a car.
But it just makes me appreciate my TCH more
