The only part that doesn't seem right is the 3.5L in the altima. I mean...nissan has a great 3.0L VQ...222hp....why just junk it? BUT i'm sure the next gen camry and accord are going to have more the 200+ so maybe they figure that they will be way out ahead of the comp.
Below is from b15sentra.net
It is official guys. We have some Nissan Represenitives at a Nissan Z meet in Dallas this evening, and they explained what is happening with all the cars. Basically this is what they said.
The Altima is gonna be the Maxima Size sedan. It will be slightly bigger than the current Maxima. It will have the 3.5L VQ 240hp Engine as the option, standard it will have the 170hp engine out of the SE-R. The Altima is also getting the same suspension that is on the Z.
The SE-R Sentra will have the same engiens you have heard about. It will also have 6spd, eibach springs and stiffer sways. That is how it will out handle a type R. From the factory.
The SE-R Maxima will have 260hp 3.5L VQ, 6spd, 18" wheels TLSD, and a body kit. Not much other than that.
Basically they said the 3.5L is Nissan's small block V8 he called it.
The trucks Frontier will get the 3.5L next year as well.
Also the Full size truck will get the new V8 320~ hp engine.
The amazing news is this engine will be in the new 2004 Maxima when it goes full-size. It will also be RWD and 320~ hp, going to a LSD. This is the new Maxima and will be BMW M5 comp.
This is straight from the NISSAN reps today in Dallas.
