From Nissan's News Site Go Altima!!
Nissan Division Announces 4.8 Percent Increase in Sales [Dec. 03, 01]
- Altima leads with 42.6% increase; The increase was paced by the highly acclaimed re-designed Altima, launched in late August, which saw its best November ever with sales of 13,675 units, a 42.6 percent increase versus last year.

 

Hmmm...if the new Altima is selling so well how come I never see them on the street?? I live in SF Bay Area and have seen less then six new Altimas on the street over the past three months.

Makes me wonder where exactly these Altimas are being sold. I see a lot of new Camrys on the road though. Every parking lot has one without the plates yet.

 

then it must be the NorthEast buying them.. because i see too many altima's everyday..

 

A year ago, my dad wanted to buy me an alty. Instead I bought a 200hp loaded used taurus. If the new 2k2 was out, I might have reconsidered. However, I doubt nissan is going to sell them at $13.9k (the price the dealer was willing to sell them at).

 

NOpe - I've seen a total of 6 altimas since october in southeast NY

 

I've seen about 3-5 everyday around DC, and maybe another 2-3 in College Park around my school.....and surprisingly most are the 3.5s, only seen about 2 4cyl. though.....on the other hand seen about 2-3 2k2 Maxs, not as much as the Alty though! I'm suprised how many people are buying those ugly things!

 

Ugly things?

i've only seen ONE on the street, actually at my school, a 2.5 S i believe. i'm in oklahoma, i guess they dont sell much here?

 

I live right next to a dealership so don't ask how many ive seen [a lot]. I don't know if it's the south but i have spotted numerous all over ATL ever since they came out. As usual the most elusive is the 3.5 SE .

 

I live on long island, ny and travel every day to queens and I can tell you that I see at least 8 - 10 a day. Easy.

 

the altimas are tight. ive only seen a few of then around here tho. saw a 4-cyl one today but other than the nissan lot i drive by everyday i hardly see them...

 

I've seen tons driving around here in MA

 

I've seen all of two on the road here in the Detroit Metropolitan area. One of them had dealer plates on it too. Guess they aren't selling all that well here.

Nissan is just wonderful.

 

I see one 3.5SE everyday....Ooops that's right...it's my cousins

 

In the Dallas area I rarely see them or the 2k2 Max except for mine!

 

Haha, Bill, go drive your 3rd gen.

I've only seen about 3 2002 Max's around, but lots of Altimas.

 

Yup same in LA

 

I've poked around in the 2002 models, and I really think that the newest Maxima is no longer a Minima.

 

I noticed when I took a road trip how rare Nissans are in the rest of the US. Nissan must be concentrating on the Northeast. There are too many Nissans here. I've seen plenty of new Altimas, a few Max 2Ks, everything. Nissan's are soooooooo common up here.

I've seen more 2k2 Maxes than 2k2 Altimas, and lately more 2k2 Maxes than 2k Maxes.

 

LA as in Los Angeles, or the state?

Cause I am in Los Angeles.

 

you calling my 2001 a minima j/k

 

not suprise to see the result but will it last?

 

shocking indeed.......I may have to go take a gander.

 

Are you ready for this Bill? You might want to sit down.

In the latest Motor Trend, they say something to the effect of: The interior materials on the Altima are nicer than the Camry......

shocked?

 

Ah, a Nissan afficianado (sp.). But with all the coyne you've spent upgrading, I'll probably take delivery of a 350Z first!
