No prices from Nissan yet but GET THIS:
 
According to Nissan the Altima V6 5 speed will rocket to 60 mph in 6.3 seconds!...the automatic 7.2 seconds. Can you say CamCord killer?, for that matter the Maxima is not that fast!.

Glad I waited!! by dettim

I was at the Nissan Dealer letting my wife test drive the Maxima SE 5 speed 2 weeks ago when the sales guy tried to get me to buy. I told him we were going to buy a Maxima SE before the end of the year but I wanted to wait and see the new Altima. I told him that this would drive down the price for a 2001 SE and I could get a better price. The salesman then tried to get me to buy the SE and offered me a fully loaded (heated leather seats etc...) for invoice. I told him thanks but I wanted to wait to see the Altima(he said it was going to be smaller than the Maxima)........Wow!!!! I'm glad I waited.... thank you Nissan....It's much better than I had anticipated.....My wife says she is in "love".... I can't wait till Sept. to test drive this car...of course I will wait till the ferver dies down and I can buy it for a good price! I hope I can wait!!!

we have y2k accord and 98 escort in our family, both five speed. After I saw a preview of a new altima I definitely want one! Nissan has one new customer. I considered purchasing Maxima but I like the specs and looks of 2002 altima better. Only price will decide which engine we will get, transmission of course will be five speed.

Sunroof??? by dettim

After looking at Nissan's news site, I see that it says nothing about a sunroof option for the new '02 Altima. Does anyone think they'll have that as an option for the V6 SE?

because if it is not, Nissan will lose some of its customers, especially me, I don't want a car without a sunroof.
