anyone who stilll hasn't test driven the Alty
 
I suggest you do it for the Kenneth Cole bag. I did a 2.5 5-spd but I wish they'd had a V6.

The bag is surprisingly good quality. I have about 8 laptop bags given to me by various vendors at work, and the logos look nice but the bags are not that good. Enough with the shirts, bags, mugs, palm pilots, key chains, let's see the sports tickets!!

Anyway, the one from Nissan has a very comfy strap and even another Kenneth Cole bag to go around the laptop--a bag inside a bag. Not sure what the retail is but the watch is only $75 or so.

If more people took test drives and told Nissan that the steering is way too light, maybe they'd do something.

I just got done driving a Sunfire GT rental for 1400 miles, and here we go again. The steering was really tight--when I got back in my 4th gen it felt loose. I'm not sure why GM's Alero, Grand Am, and this Sunfire GT have such good steering. Nissan should definitely be able to do that too. If not across the board, then why not with SE models?? :confused:

I feel you
 
My dad's 1995 Eddy bauer 4x4 Explorer's steering feels ALOT tighter than my Minima...and it's a damn SUV w/4WD and huge tires...it's supposed to be loose to give when off-roading...

Goes to show how Nissan overboosts their damn steering...I guess they got the wrong concept and took off their beautifully overpowerful engines and used the same concept in their steering :cool:

I got a watch for my test drive. Had many comments on it too.

First of all, if you're gonna use that B word, you better put a smiley after it. That's pretty rude. If you're young, you're forgiven but you'll learn.

It's business. The super boxes for baseball, the club boxes for hockey, 50-yard line football, courtside b-ball. When a vendor drops off 4 World Series tickets or 24 polo shirts, what do you think it's for? They want to get your business, close the deal. Unless your corp. has a compliance policy against accepting these freebies, then there is nothing wrong with it, unless you're holier than thou. Grow up. No wait, my bad, your comment is an April fools joke.
