Very Normal. You noticed that you don't have a regular temperature gage. On the NAH, that was replaced with the battery State of Charge meter. Blue indicates that the engine is cold. That is your new temperature gage. You will notice that when you start the car and all the idiot lights come on briefly that both a blue and a red temperature gage are shown. You don't want to see red as that means the engine is over heating.
 
Got it? Enjoy the car and quiet worrying.

A reporter is hoping to talk with hybrid owners who have had to replace the hybrid's battery. Please respond to ctalatiedmunds.com before Friday, May 16, 2008 with your daytime contact information and a few words about your experience.

Thanks - Not sure why Nissan wants to remind me that the engine is cold.... I already know that... Every morning... It's cold... and the car is cold....

It's no different than your old gage pointing to cold when you start up.

Any word on the 2009 Altima Hybrid by jsyaruss

Greetings all -- I have noticed that there aren't a lot of 2008 Altima Hybrids left on the lots and I am getting ready to take the plunge. Does anybody have any ideas about when the '09s will be making their appearance? Any changes on the 09s? Will there even BE '09s? (I don't know how close Nissa is to running out their licensing agreement with Toyota.)
 
Trying to decide whether to act now or to wait another month or two and any thoughts would be much appreciaetd.

Nissan usually starts the new year production after the 4th of July. However, Hybrids have their own schedule and may not produce the 09's right away. I am a good case in point. Last year, I ordered a NAH with tech. It was not produced until October and delivered shortly after Thanksgiving.
 
That was a real timetable. The tech may have had a delayand they may produce some hybrids before then. Your dealer will not know. I guarantee it even if they ask Nissan directly.

Question by malttese33

All, I was wondering if it is normal for the bottom of the car to rust after owning the car for only 5 months? I noticed it when I was washing my car for the very first time a couple of weeks back and when I really got down and looked up on the underside of the car I noticed a couple of areas where rust has developed. Should I take it in to an auto shop and have the rust removed?

How do you decide to buy? by carteach

I own a '06 Acura TL with 20 K miles on it. I got it at the end of the season for $28,300. I bought it for it's peppy engine and the Acura reliability. My original thought was to keep it "forever."
 
Now that gas has hit $4.00/gallon, I'm wondering whether it pays to sell the Acura and buy a hybrid. I'm especially concerned because I drive about 50 miles a day and now hear that in a year or so gas could be $8/gallon.
 
Looking for some feedback.

All I can say is that every time the price of gas goes up, the price return on a Hybrid is quicker. It's is like going to Vegas. You place your bet and see how the wheel lands. I bought my O8' last fall and tickled with it. I also loved the Acura and have driven several long distances. Probably my favorite car for ride and performance, but I would place the NAH second in a snap. It's what I can afford to drive.
 
Judging the way you wrote your question, your having to make the same decision.
