#11120 of 13296 Re: Changes for 2009 [thegraduate] by madpistol Oct 31, 2008 (3:17 pm)
Replying to: thegraduate (Oct 31, 2008 10:40 am) The new wheelcovers on the Altima are FUGLY!!! They remind me of wheel covers found on the '00-'01 Camry, but they're even UGLIER!!!! At least the wheel covers on the '07-'08 Altima's had a little bit of taste. I'd wager that this is one of Nissan's selling tactics; make people hate the cheap plastic wheelcovers so they'll buy the more expensive packages w/ 16" alloys.   In other news, the Camry gets no new changes for '09, and thus, it still sucks.

I know, I know, we're beating it to death. But this 2010 Fusion is pretty big news IMO and you can read more than you want about the new powertrains here. Lots of good info if you care to know.

Replying to: backy (Oct 31, 2008 8:09 am) toyota had a judgement against them related to their hybrid synergy system for infringing on another non automotive company's patent. i think it was about $25 per vehicle. good new ideas are hard to come by.

Replying to: baggs32 (Oct 31, 2008 5:25 pm) Yep no real changes for the 09 Altima or Camry...but look for facelifted 2010 Camry and Altima models to debut after the Fusion. The facelifted Camry should appear at Detroit and go on sale soon after...and like always Nissan will probably show off the facelifted Altima at Chicago and it should go on sale by March of next year. So while they offer nothing really new for 09, that particular model year will be short and we'll soon see the 2010 models.

#11125 of 13296 AMEX buying service by bwia Nov 01, 2008 (6:04 am)
Perhaps this is the wrong thread to ask this question but has any one used the American Express buying service that guarantees to save buyers an average of $750 on a new car purchase? I am not sure if that savings is off MSRP or the average transaction price.    The promotion came in the mail and it does not show how much the service cost but the average savings seems low. Perhaps most buyers could do better on their own, but then again, there are buyers who hate to haggle.

Replying to: akirby (Oct 31, 2008 6:57 am) We're all saying the same thing. Ford could not use it's inventions without fear of litigation from Toyota, unless they engaged in a deal with Toyota, to eliminate the threat of litigation.
