Jaxs--if you look at the picture linked below, I think the AUX input is visible towards the top left of the picture. Is this what you're referring to? There appears to be no description of what exactly that is for, but it looks like the right size/shape to be an Aux input.

(in case the link doesn't work, it's picture 14/25 of the Interior section of Edmunds' photo gallery).
 
On other matters, does anyone have any recommendations on dealers in the South Bay Area, CA? Assuming I like the car when I test drive, I'm probably planning on buying a NAH in the next couple months. I have access to the Carperks network (www.carperks.net) through my work, so I will probably try that as well as going through either Carsdirect or the internet salesperson at another dealer to ensure I get the best deal. I will probably have to special order the car I want, too, so if anyone has good information on which dealers make that process painless, I'd really appreciate it!

No power seat! by joha

The Nissan USA web site gives a complete list of standard and optional equipment for the Altima Hybrid and unequivocably states that a power driver seat is included in all models. I live in Maryland, so I could not see the base model car I purchased from a dealer in NJ. I was unhappy to find that there was no power seat. I wrote to Nissan and was told by a customer service rep that there is a disclaimer on the web site [see if you can find it!] and Nissan reserves the right to lie about their products on their web site. Do not trust Nissan info. Check carefully.

I wonder what percentage of Altima sales the Hybrid is?
 
In my area it seems like the majority of new Altima's I see are hybrid models compared to a very low ratio of 2007 Camry Hybrids vs 2007 non-hybrid Camrys I see on the road.

Hi Joha, if you check http://www.nissanusa.com/altima/specifications.html, click interior, you will find the hybrid has 6-way manual adjustable driver's seat in the base model.

Starhusker: You are right that Nissan's web site now states that the base model has no power seat, but that is a very recent change in response to my letter of complaint of 4/25/07. As of 5/3, Nissan's web site still bragged of power seat in all Hybrid models.

How much of a discount? I couldn't get them to budge off of MSRP given the fact that we have to order the car that we want.

I don't want to comment on that yet, as we have not worked out final pricing on my car. The final pricing is worked out when the car is delivered. I don't want to jeopardize the deal I'm getting by bragging about how good it is. I'm also in a little bit different situation because I get a corporate discount, through this dealer.
 
When you say them above, are you referring to Nissan of Garden Grove? Because all they required from me is a $500 non refundable deposit to order the car. That $500 then goes towards your down payment. Like I said, final pricing should be worked out when your car is delivered. I specifically asked if by giving a deposit and special ordering the car, if I was in any part agreeing to a selling price, and the answer was No.

In that case, what's stopping them from raising the price significantly once the car is delivered? Have they guaranteed a range of prices (and if so, how big is the spread)?
 
I've never bought a new car, so I'm a little unfamiliar with the whole process, but every time I learn more about it the less I like it. Putting a $500 nonrefundable deposit down on the expectation of receiving a price I'd be satisfied with, only to leave them the option to change last minute, is not something I would very keen on.
 
My manager, when buying his new car a few months ago, received an online quotation with a price he liked. However, once he got to the dealership he was told that they could not actually have sold him a car at that price. How that isn't a bait-and-switch tactic worthy of reporting to the BBB, I have no idea.
