A 10% increase in fuel economy? WOW! Way to go GM. No wonder you're in your current financial position. I hope your fuel cell plans are on track b/c this car won't sell. |

Replying to: autoboy16 (Jun 16, 2006 10:00 am) Another thing I don't like about Nissan is the long and expensive options list. I added a few options like moonroof, alloy wheels, ABS and airbags with the 4 cyl version. I could by a 6 cyl engine with its competitors for that money! 2006 Hyundai Sonata LX is a perfect example. JD Power backs the Sonata with an overall rating of 4.5 out of 5. IIHS.org gave better rating to Sonata (G,A,G)than Altima (G,P,A). Consumer Reports rated the Altima a score of 74 and the Sonata a 76, both 6 cyl versions. Also Sonata's EPA Passenger volume is 105 cu ft compared to Altima's 103. The only thing Altima has on Sonata is 15 more Horsepower. I personally think that isn't enough to sway me. If your buying for the name plate, buy Nissan. If your buying a good car at a reasonable price buy Sonata.

Replying to: jnt (Jun 16, 2006 8:05 pm) You've got the numbers reversed. Prius gets 49 and the previous Jetta TDI automatic gets 42. (Data isn't available for new Jetta yet.) JOHN |
