How do you guys like the Max's facelift (clear lens on colored lens taillights, separated low/high headlight lens with HID, new grille)?
The Altima's quality does lack somewhat, but that reflects in the lower price (base 3.5 SE starts at $21K). Well, it is still brand spanking new, and hopefully following years will work out the kinks, deliver better quality, and make it worth even more for your money.
By the way, for those of you who live in Southern California, have you driven by the main corporate Nissan office building in Torrance? Damn, they've got this HUGE Altima ad pasted to the front of the building, right on the glass from top to bottom. Sort of reminds me of the "farewell Z-car" banner they hung from the building back in '96. I guess they really want to push the new Altima.
