There was a lot of commotion before the release of the Altima. Now, after the debut, Nissan continue rambling about it. We've got it, it's the most magnificent, outstanding, best-in-class sedan there is. At a certain point, we do understand them however. The Nissan Alitma was the second the second best-selling car in the U.S last year. Promoting it properly is making sure that it stays as the company's bread and butter product.
“This new Altima builds on the fundamental reputation earned over four generations

Here it is. After countless, uninspiring teasers, the latest Nissan Altima finally shows up to the world. And you know what? On paper it sounds pretty good. There's a lot to work here with but the main points are that it is lighter, more economical then ever, torquey and abundantly equipped.
At the engine bay, there isn't much going on. Sure, the Altima comes with a choice between a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder and a 3.5-liter V6 power plan but neither of these engines are mind blowingly innovative. Ra

Stillen are adamant that their products are strictly functional. So the Stillen 370Z bumper should be no exception. It's made from urethane and, according to the Stillen guys, it does what a bumper should do – channel air to all the right places, provide down force and cool the brakes. Then comes, as a secondary priority, the looks. Tiago's Drift Hobby team seems to agree.

Five teasers for the five timer. Here's the final pre-New York video of the Nissan Altima and the first impression is: “Oh dear, it's more than 8 seconds long!!” A lot longer in fact... 20 seconds. This time we get to see a full view of the Altima and the gauges and everything. We even have some genuine information about it.
The Advanced Drive-AssistTM Display (that thing between the dials) is there to help you stay focused on the road. Not sure how it does that exactly but presumably stari

Nissan GT-Rs have always been a favorite for ambitious tuners. What we see here can only support that theory. It's a collaboration project between two companies – The American based PUR Wheels company and the Indonesian Premier Autowerkz... apparently. The whole project is rather obscure and not much information is available.
On what we can focus however, are those 3 piece “4OUR Depth“ PUR wheels they have fitted. Beautifully made 5 double spokes (that's one way of putting it). It's as i

Yet another teaser from Nissan – thrilling. This time we get a verification that the upcoming Altima has doors... four of them (or two on one side). Then they say that they have an image as well, but it's just a still shot from the video. What good is that?
The company's marketing strategy really is an unorthodox one. First we had a teaser which was sort of uninformative, then there was a second one which was ok-ish. The third one started to feel banal and now this. For how long do we have to
