Replying to: mtnman1 (Jul 14, 2008 1:30 pm) the gas mileage seems to be ok. went from about 29 with a focus 2.3 stick(over 42k) to about 22 in the fusion(less than 3k). the fusion has more style than the sonata, although i think the wheels on the sonata look great. i'd like to leave my emotions out of the decision, but i can't. you have to pick the car that will be the best one to own for you. |

Replying to: backy (Jul 14, 2008 5:59 pm) What's interesting is that the 2.5S (which is the volume seller) is CVT only now and has automatic climate control standard...a feature that was once only available on the 2.5S with SL pkg, 3.5Sl or 3.5SE with Premium pkg. So now the SL pkg may very well include the CD6 and XM radio instead of making folks pay for this feature in the Connection pkg. I also see that the VDC is now grouped with the Sports pkg (since the Moonroof is a stand-alone option now) so basically since Nissan has pkgs that are cumulative models with the Sports pkg and up will have VDC but I4 models will not. Looks like we won't see VDC available on the Altima until it gets a full facelift (next year for MY2010) or a full redesign...which accurately matches up with when it will be mandatory...in 2012. |

Replying to: maxamillion1 (Jul 13, 2008 5:32 pm) Max, we believe that the i Touring model will be the most popular. We have ordered mostly Touring and GT models. We have ordered a few Sport's in there, mainly to use them as a price leader for advertisement purposes. The SV trim is only available as a special order by getting special approval. Don't expect to see any. I really don't know why they even offer it.

Replying to: aviboy97 (Jul 15, 2008 9:18 am) Probably the same reason Nissan has the base Altima, so they can advertise an MSRP of <$20K. |

Replying to: karpediem (Jul 15, 2008 3:02 pm) Just as it's none of your business how often I mention ESC. Or VSC. Or VSA. Or ESP. Or whatever it's called.
