NY loves hybrids; Capital Region drivers love them twice as much
Mike Orcutt, general manager of Nemith Nissan, says 50 of the 300 Altimas sold in the last three months were hybrids. New York's gas prices rank among the country's highest, and so does its growing affinity for hybrids. In 2007, sales of alternative vehicles across the state increased 50 percent over 2006, ranking it third-highest in overall hybrid sales behind California and Florida. The eco-friendly cars fared even better in the Capital Region, where the number of registrations in 2007 doubled compared with the previous year. And as fuel prices continue to rise, the inclination toward smaller, more eco-friendly cars hasn't slowed. In the last three months, 50 of the 300 Altimas sold at Nemith Nissan in Latham were hybrid versions of the popular automobile. "Around here, it's really a combination of gas mileage and ecology," said Mike Orcutt, Nemith Nissan's general manager. State Department of Motor Vehicles registrations for hybrids in Albany, Rensselaer, Saratoga and Schenectady counties reached 2,756 in 2007, twice the 1,356 hybrids registered in 2006, DMV spokesman Nick Cantiello said. A driving force behind the alternative vehicles is sticker shock at the pumps, experts say. "The push is economy-related. It's fueled by gas prices," said Tom Libby, senior automotive analyst at Power Information Network, a unit of J.D. Power & Associates Inc. in Troy, Mich. Nationwide, Toyota Prius captured 51 percent of last year's hybrid market, up from 43 percent the previous year, according to the survey released by R.L. Polk & Co., an automotive research company based in Southfield, Mich. Hybrids cost more than their standard predecessors, but the tax credits add incentives, Orcutt said. A standard Altima costs $22,000, while the hybrid runs $25,000. The $2,200 tax credit on the hybrid version can sweeten the deal, Orcutt said. Price really comes into play with the luxury vehicles. For example, a traditional Lexus runs about $60,000, compared with $110,000 for the hybrid model. In spite of their higher initial investments, hybrids are faring well in the larger auto market, which declined by 7 percent last year, Libby said. Hybrids made up 2.9 percent of the country's new car sales in 2007, up slightly from 2006's 2.5 percent. U.S. registrations for new hybrids rose 38 percent last year to 350,289 vehicles. The percentage is higher in New York, where the 17,385 new hybrids represent a 50 percent increase over the 11,634 in 2006. Statewide, hybrid sales represented 5 percent of the state's combined new car sales, the study by R.L. Polk also reported. "When something that's good for the environment meets up with $4 a gallon, the environment becomes very ripe," said Deborah Dorman, president of the Eastern New York Coalition of Automobile Retailers Inc., a 94-member trade group of new car dealers. Manufacturers lose money on hybrid production, which is the reason consumers pay so much for the vehicles, said Libby of Power Information Network. The automotive industry is bracing itself for new federal regulations that require each of their fleets to average 35 miles per gallon by 2020. Demand for hybrids will remain limited until prices come down, Libby said, and prices likely won't come down until the industry develops cheaper technologies 2009 Nissan Altima Overview The Nissan Altima is powered by either a 175-hp 2.5-liter V6 or a 270-hp 3.5-liter V6 and the transmission choices include a six-speed manual or continuously variable transmission (CVT). The trims on the Altima include: the 2.5 Base (on the sedan only), the 2.5 S, the 3.5 SE and the 3.5 SL (on the sedan only). Safety features include: four-wheel disc brakes, anti-lock brakes on all trims except for the Sedan 2.5 Base, six airbags, front seat-belt pre-tensioners and a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). The coupe's roofline is 2.6 inches lower than the sedan's and flows back into a long and nicely sculpted tail section that narrows between wide shoulders above prominent wheel arches.

2009 Nissan Altima Specs
Vehicle HighlightsThe 2009 Nissan Altima is largely unchanged, though Nissan is expanding availability of its gas/electric Hybrid model. This midsize car comes in sedan and coupe body styles. Compared to the coupes, sedans ride on a longer wheelbase and are slightly longer overall. Four-cylinder and V6 engines are shared between body styles, though the Hybrid is only offered as a sedan. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

2009 2010 Nissan Altima Safety Features
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The front-wheel drive, five-passenger Nissan Altima combines performance and an attractive exterior as either a two-door coupe or a four-door sedan.
The Nissan Altima is powered by either a 175-hp 2.5-liter V6 or a 270-hp 3.5-liter V6 and the transmission choices include a six-speed manual or continuously variable transmission (CVT). The trims on the Altima include: the 2.5 Base (on the sedan only), the 2.5 S, the 3.5 SE and the 3.5 SL (on the sedan only). Safety features include: four-wheel disc brakes, anti-lock brakes on all trims except for the Sedan 2.5 Base, six airbags, front seat-belt pre-tensioners and a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). The coupe's roofline is 2.6 inches lower than the sedan's and flows back into a long and nicely sculpted tail section that narrows between wide shoulders above prominent wheel arches. The suspension is tuned to provide the driver with a more nimble feel and heightened responsiveness.
For 2009, the Nissan Altima Coupe and Sedan are a carryover.
NHTSA rates crash-tested vehicles by assigning them one to five stars, with five stars indicating the most injury protection and one star indicating the least protection.
The Nissan Altima has been on sale for more than 15 years and has now settled into the rare role of a practical five-passenger family sedan with handling and performance that appeals to the enthusiast. There have been four generations of Altimas, with the newest one introduced in 2007 and on sale now. The sedan has more recently been aimed at traditional segment leaders, and as such it has quickly matured in terms of features, finesse and power.
Family sedans have never been more capable across the board than they are today, and competition in this segment is consequently fiercer than ever. Yet the current Nissan Altima manages to distinguish itself by offering ample yet refined power, especially with the optional V6, along with perhaps the sportiest handling of any family sedan. It also boasts a pleasant interior that's leaps and bounds ahead of its low-grade predecessors. The addition of a coupe model should broaden the Altima's appeal and make it even more competitive with the Accord and Camry, which have long offered coupe variants. Families -- or really anyone -- in search of practical yet lively daily transportation should give the Altima a hard look.
Current Nissan Altima
The Nissan Altima provides the kind of style and performance one would have expected years ago from its now-big brother, the Maxima sedan. In recent years, strong styling has been one of Nissan's characteristics, and the Altima's svelte sheet metal continues this trend. The Altima impresses under the hood as well, with zesty acceleration from the base 2.5-liter engine and downright prodigious thrust from the optional 3.5-liter V6. (A limited-production four-cylinder hybrid model with Toyota-sourced technology is also available in some states.) Transmission choices are a six-speed manual or a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). The latter is one of the best examples of its breed; the former, however, is to be avoided unless you absolutely must shift your own gears, as its rubbery feel and remarkably imprecise throws are only fit for the most automatic-averse consumers.
In reviews of the current-generation Altima, we've mostly praised the power and handling of both the four-cylinder and V6 models, although the enthusiast-oriented SE model's sport-tuned suspension can be a little stiff on rough surfaces. We clocked a CVT-equipped Altima SE V6 from zero to 60 mph in just 6.6 seconds, an excellent showing for a family sedan -- and one that might make the decision to go without a manual shifter a little easier. Meanwhile, the base car with the 2.5-liter four-cylinder performs well enough that it will probably make some consumers think twice about whether a V6 is necessary.
Underneath that sleek skin, the Nissan Altima's overall length has been reduced about 2 inches as compared to the previous model, which has resulted in slightly less front and rear legroom. In the sedan, there's still enough room for four 6-foot adults to be carried in reasonable comfort, at least for a moderate distance, but legroom is just average, and headroom is tight. The interior layout, however, is much improved over the previous-generation Altima and is now near the head of the family sedan class in terms of both design and material quality.
The Altima coupe drives much like the sedan, as one might expect, but it adds unique styling, sportier suspension tuning and more aggressively bolstered seats. Its dimensions are also down a bit from the sedan's -- combined with the coupe's rakish roof line, this means markedly less passenger room for coupe buyers, though it's still a good bit roomier than dedicated sport coupes.
One thing to consider is pricing. While the least expensive Altima starts at just under $20,000, a desire for V6 power and a free hand with the options list could leave you with a price tag of $30,000 or more for a new Altima. At that price point, one could also start considering some purpose-built sport sedans from more prestigious luxury automakers.
Used Nissan Altima Models
The current- (fourth) generation Nissan Altima debuted in 2007, with the Coupe following in 2008. In the time since, the Altima line has seen only minor changes to standard and optional feature structures.
The current- and third-generation Nissan Altimas are the most desirable from a used-car shopper's perspective. The 2002-'06 model was about 6 inches longer and had a new suspension and stronger body compared to the previous car. At the time, it was one of the most powerful family sedans available, as it came with either a 175-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine or a 240-hp 3.5-liter V6. All models were offered with either a manual or automatic transmission.
The interior was widely criticized for looking cheap but the Altima had a particularly lively feel for a front-wheel-drive family sedan. Our editors concluded that the Altima had gone from wallflower to genuinely desirable sedan overnight. For the serious driving enthusiast, the 2005-'06 Altima SE-R was the way to go. This specialized model came with a firmer suspension, a bit more power and an exclusive six-speed manual transmission whose slick operation was a cut above Nissan's norm.
It took awhile for the Nissan Altima family sedan, introduced in 1993, to establish itself in the marketplace and the hearts of enthusiasts. The first two generations, powered by a relatively peppy 150-hp 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, weren't flops -- but neither were they the blockbusters Nissan was hoping for. We found the second-generation Altima, which was sold for the 1998-2001 model years, to be a decent handler but too bland in its overall design.
