Nissan Altima
The Altima’s star is not as bright as it used to be. That is why Nissan has decided to redesign the model for 2010. After creating a substantial buzz by sending out press releases containing half-veiled photos, Nissan has finally unveiled the Altima, and… it almost looks unchanged, at least from the outside. We were expecting more! The Coupe version is a nice surprise, and the hybrid model is back.
