Nissan Altima
The current incarnation of the Nissan Altima dates back to 2007, and we’ll probably have to wait at least another year before the new sedan is released. The Altima is a welcoming vehicle that can carry up to five passengers. As before, this intermediate member of the large Nissan family is available as a sedan or coupe. Engine options include a naturally aspirated 4-cylinder engine, a bullet proof 270-hp 3.5L V6 or a hybrid system.
