Whats up guys, i know this thread is going to be moved, but today at nissan of queens we received the first 2007 altima is the district. Its an SE model v6 loaded up with everything except navi and let me tell you that this car is absoulutly fkin gorgeous. It's no longer an altima fellas....270hp from the v6 now pushes it above the maxima in power. Fit and finish are top notch...the bose sterio system with the big amp mounted in the trunk is unreal. Anyone in the area id advise you to stop by.

If anyone does my name is Rocco come see me.

 

Sounds like Nissan has done what it was planning all along - turn the Altima into 'everyman's car, with versions for everybody, including (among other things) a worthy replacement for the traditional Maxima, which will move definitively into the near luxury class (no more 4door sports sedan) when the 7th gen arrives.

 

Always wanted to use this one! LOL LETS SEE IT!!!

 

Uhhh i dont live in NY but i found this info page and pictures of the new 07 Altima....

That is surprisingly similar to the Maxima & the new G35 in alot of ways. It's even got push-button start. If the Altima is up to 270HP, I wonder what the next gen Max will be...hopefully pushing 300+

 

hey guys, i have yet seen its new 270HP published anywhere. Ive seen the 265HP - 3.5L, but not the 270HP.


Where have you seen this claim of info?

 

Not really liking those lights? too eclipse-ish

 

It's kind of interesting that the redline isn't at 7100 like the VQ35HR in the new G35, but instead at 6750:

Has anyone heard which version of the VQ35 the new Altima uses?

 

check nissanusa.com...its 270.

 

man do i need to go and trade in my 06

 

i was at my stealership yesterday looking for some car mats when i asked my service advisor about the new altima's. he said it was only 265HP and 80% of the engine is the same as the 07 Maxima. Just a few modifications for the start button and CVT.

He also said that it would woop my 05 Max's butt..... OMFG....

 

ok your rite its 265....but im typing this while looking at the window sticker that says 270.

service advisor sell service...there not even product certified.

 

i got the info from www.Nissanusa.com

 

thats right, they are just the people who are qualified and trained to work on nissan engines.

 

You guys give up on the Maxima so quickly. The new Altima is very,very nice but does not 100% fill in the Maxima's spot. I do like the turn signal mirrors though.

 

^^^^^ ^^^^^^

 

the 7th gen willbe.........insane!

 

Whoever you talked to was wrong.

 

Has the interior dimensions changed? I always felt a little cramped in the driver seat.

 

I bet the next gen Maxima comes out with 275, 300hp would be too big of a jump for Nissan.

Two words for Nissan, RWD PLEASE!!!!!!!

 

The 20% is what makes this engine put down more power; like dual intakes, for example. Big difference...

 

One word: nevergonnahappen

 

Rocco,

What's the price on the model you have in your showroom?

 

I was at a dealership today for an oil change. While waiting I roamed the lot looking at what they had. I saw a handfull of 07 Altimas and REALLY liked them. The rear glass is more sloped, more of a "fastback" look with a shorter trunk. The only part I didn't like were the taillights. I think they wrap around to the side too much. One that I saw was a V6 / 6 speed. Nice to see they're available. I noticed something odd on the 2.5 (I4) model, though. It had dual exhaust tips! HUH?
On a side note, I saw another interesting car there. They had four brand new 2006 Nissan Sentra "Type R Spec V" cars on the lot. The Sentra isn't as good looking as the Maxima or Altima, but these seem like they'd be fun drivers. A 2.5L engine (standard is a 1.8L), 6 speed manual trans, larger brakes front and rear, Brembo 4-piston calipers on the front, sport seats, and so-on. All this on a brand new very light body for only $17,000. The Altimas were priced pretty nice too. THey only had a couple of new 07 Maximas, but they had a bunch of new 06s.

 

29,685 i believe...i know 29 but im not exactly sure about the change.

 

yea def is a nice car...sick that somoene has a 6 speed model...we just got a bunch more in today so maybe we got one but im not sure...the one in my showroom is a CVT. And as far as seeing spec V sentras...i dont know if you ment to say you seen 4 brand new 07's but if you did thats a negitive because the 07 spec-v wont be out until spring. But we have 07 sentras as well and those are really nice cars too.

 

I do not like it.

 

The Sentras I saw were 06 models. At least that's what the window sticker said.

 

This new Altima should be more fun to drive.
It's smaller and lighter.
At 3268lbs for 3.5SE, 270HP will translate to some serious power.

 

oo tru..yea those are nice little cars, but you should see a loaded up 07 sentra..it really is a nice car.

 

Wow, that's one ugly Altima! The rear almost looks like a Honda. I drive an 04' Max and will probably be my last Nissan. IMO, Nissan is going downhill. If you want a quality car, go with an Infiniti, which is what I should've done and coughed up a few thousand more.

 

well RWD is known for mostly racing uses. and plus its not very smart to have a powerful RWD car running in rain or especially snow...lolxz

 

That's something new for '07. Both models have dual exhaust. See the image in previous post from nissanusa.com.

 

the 2007 altima v6 270 has been on the ground at actionnissan in nyack NY for quite some time now.

 

First 2007 Altima on Cardomain here................. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2498116

Looks just like the 07 Maxima from the front and side. The rear looks like an Altima and has a more compact look compared to the 07 Max. I like the dual exhaust even on the 2.5 models. That might start car makers putting dual exhaust on 4 cylinder models.

Now we can say the 2007 Altima looks like a 2007 Maxima. Since the 07 Max was first.

 

I haven't seen the real thing yet but the pictures look good. Still its a smaller car and I remember there was much less elbow room in the ALTI when I was buying my MAX. Switchin from a JEEP this was very important and at that time only three cars had that much room. Mercedes S, Lexus LS and a Maxima.

You guessed right, I couldn't afford the other two so I bought a max. Yupee
