I guess it depends what you consider major. They arn't going to change the body design, or the engine, or trans or anything like that. the '05 weren't much different than the '04 or 06's. the altima didn't cange dramaticly till the '07 redesign.

I really don't feel that the Altima changed all the much anyway. It really doesn't look much different than the previous model. They just made it bigger. Heavier.

actually, they made it smaller. they added a new transmission (cvt) drastically upgraded the quality of the interior, and redesigned the body, mostly in the rear. they also redesigned the suspension to almost completely eliminate the dreaded torque steer of the previous gen.
on top of that you have the keyless entry and smart key systems, push button start, and a bunch of other options.

They did a massive overhaul for this generation. Outside the car, it doesn't look much different, but from the inside, this car is completely overhauled compared to the '02-'06 model Altima
I'm actually hoping they'll consider redesigning the interior center dash. They really need to make it more like the rest of the segment with a "command screen" that serves as the central information hub for HVAC and audio controls. Until they do this, they are behind the competition. I would love to see an interior control scheme that's similar to the '09 Maxima.

But what about the fog lights

What kills me with Nissan is the whole set up where fog lights are the hardest thing to get in their pricing. I don't want to spend an extra 10 grand to option in the lights and I don't want to blow the 900 they quote to add them. If they would remedy this one insult I might very well already be driving their car. As it stands I will wait patiently for the Fusion and hope it bests the Altima in a new drive off. I didn't love the Altima I test drove like I loved my Mazda 6 when I was shopping back in 03. Then it came down to the Passat and 6 and the 6 interior was way better at the time.

I agree with milkman, the way the options are set up are terrible. Most of them are all grouped together and if I want one thing msrp goes up thousands of dollars.
Also, I want stability control on my next car, right now you can only get it on the V6 (and can't get it on the Sentra or Versa either, get with the times Nissan!), I'm hoping they change that for 2010. Any idea when they'd come in?

Who cares if it's a 2009 or 2010 - I better get a great discount, no matter what I buy... unless you're like most Toyota buyers getting ripped off and suckered paying sticker. It's ridiculous and then you drive off the lot and it's worth $5000 less. YES on Toyota.

Nissan will have the Electronic Stability Control next year on everything, and they're cutting the Titan, Armada and Quest and building the NV2500 commerical van. There's the new CUBE with ESC. Then in 2010 - 2011 there will be 6 Electric and Hybrid cars with 75 mpg. Gas will jump back up to $4 soon, so the market will exist and Nissan will be there with the right vehicles, while getting rid of slow sellers.
