To all I just read the MotorTrend mag for the new Nissan
Altima. The body style is similiar if not identical to
the Nissan Skyline 300GT. I would like to here your opinion
on this subject.

Nissan claims better interior space than the '01 Camry, which also gets a redesign for '02, and the '01 Accord, which will be all-new for '03. One unfortunate competitor is Nissan's own Maxima, which soldiers on for two more years with a 260-hp version of the 3.5L V-6 and less interior space than the shiny new Altima. How will Nissan dealers sell Maximas without offering big discounts? That's a problem even Carlos Ghosn can't fix.

Except for the cosmetic look the Altima is very similiar
in design with G35 and 300GT. Just my observation on the
pics(Windows and body style).
