I looked up the specs on the new Altima and the 06 Altima. The gas mileage figures are the same. So what Im thinking happened is that Nissan put the 06 MPG figures into the 07 specs sheet.
Also, Nissan says all models will have dual exhaust, but the spec sheets states single exhaust (just like the 06)
If you also look at the spec sheet, there are discrepencies with the optional pkgs (A sports pkg for the SE that includes Fogs? Aren't fogs usually standard on "SE" models of Nissan's cars)
I also noticed that the "Convenience" pkgs are available for the 2.5 and NOT the 2.5S (the 2.5 will NOT be a big seller) Also, the leather pkgs are optional on the SL, when SL models have always come with leather. So...I'm not believing anything on that spec sheet right now. Especially when a lot of the things on it don't make sense.
I'd hope the Gas mileage figures that were first shown are the right ones. If not, Nissan is in TROUBLE.
2007 Nissan Altima
I have found this website to be very accurate and good. You may want to give it a look.
Also, I have not seen anyone say that the new Nissan Altima will have any type of stability control. If it is true that this will be lacking (and the fact that even ABS looks like it will be an option), then the new Altima is going to be severely handicapped coming to market. Indeed, my understanding is that ESD will be required on ALL new cars in a few years.
See the blurb at:

In this country, the Murano has had a CVT since its introduction. I don't think it's much of a technical gamble, but the market hasn't been tested like this before, that's for sure. I hope it works, and that it's a success - another 1 mpg for hundreds of thousands of cars is a good thing.

which only came out a few months ago.
Now, the CVT has been in the Murano since its
introduction in 2003.

What CVT or auto transmission will chirp in second? I can tell you based on my test drive experience the I-4 has enough chirping power when starting from a stop for my liking! Without the torque steer! Completely eliminated for 07.
A few weeks ago Nissan posted epa estimates of 26/34 for the 4 cyl w/CVT, now it's 23/29. This is a difference of 12% & 17%, respectively. To be quite honest, I think the V6 epa estimates remained the same at 20/29. However, Nissan loses credibility by overestimating epa & hp stats on the 4 cyl model. I remember when the 2002 Altima reached dealers, Nissan had advertised it with 180 hp, but had to downgrade that figure to 175 hp later. I think the same thing is happening here. If I were a betting man, I think the 23/29 epa estimates will stand, because it is the latest posted figure from Nissan.

Production of 2007 Altima Starts at Smyrna Plant [Sept. 25, 06]
The Fourth Generation of Nissan\'s Best-selling Model Rolls Off the Line
SMYRNA, Tenn. (Sept. 25, 2006) – Employees from Nissan North America’s corporate headquarters joined the manufacturing team in Smyrna to celebrate the start of production of the company’s best-selling model in the U.S. market: the Nissan Altima. The first 2007 production model rolled off the assembly line today
My first impression was wow. This is an impressive looking car. You really don't get the feel of it till you see it in person. I can't wait to drive it when it hits the showrooms.
It is roomy. Has all the features one would want. It looks like a car worth twice as much. The Camry and accord looked very boring campared to it. Fit and finish seemed to be excellant.
I would encourage all of those living in the greater LA area to take a look at it. There were no price tags on the car. Neither were there any specs. I believe it is going to be a hit.
Trunk is listed as 17.9 with small spare and 16.6 with full spare. Your whole message is very negative and full of errors.
Go there to check out some more photos of the nissan altima 2007.

You seem a bit cruel towards me. I wasnt trying make the Altima look bad. I love the altima with a passion. I even own one. I only posted up what nissannews said. Yes, 39.5 is listed for the NON_ALTIMA HYBRIDS specifications and for the price increase. I was talking about, over the 4cyl models and This is from nissannews.com in the altima hybrid specifications.Based on what it says on nissannews.com for the HYBRID-SPECIFICATIONS. Dont make an assumption on me when you have not even looked at the right spec sheet.
Their hybrid strategy is silly, why is it you cant get a hybrid in every state? I have never heard of such a thing. To me that means they really are lacking cacacity for their hybrid system.
Has Nissan given updated mileage data for this car beyond what's on the website? 26/35 seems to be very optomistic. That would beat the camry and accord, both of which have less power in ther 4 cylinder engines.
It was 26/35 prior to that a couple of weeks ago. The MPG has changed twice.
I have no idea why.
And as I mentioned in a previous post. The 24/31 and 23/29 ratings were simple copies of the 2002-06 Altima specs.
If you look carefully over the spec sheet for 2007, you'll notice that the SE-R is listed SEVERAL times, when we all know the SE-R won't be offered this year.
Other glaring issues include the optional pkgs which has the Conv. and Conv. Plus pkgs available on the 2.5BASE, when they are really for the 2.5S. The 2.5SL has leather as "optional" in some areas and "Standard" in others and just recently the website was updated to reflect the dual tailpipes on all models (not just the 3.5 models)
So there are still MANY glaring faults on this website. I feel more confident believing that the Altima will in fact acheive 26/34 and 26/35 with the 2.5L models verses the 23/29 that was previously shown.
Everything will be set in stone within the next couple of weeks because the new Sentra's went on sale today and the new Altimas hit lots in Early Nov.
Rubbish. Nothing is ever set in stone where commerce is concerned. Nissan, like every other automaker doing business in the U.S., will follow the money trail. If demand develops in Possum Trot, Alabama for hybrids, hybrids will be made available there or nearby.
First of all, the four cars were pre production models. From what I know, I was one of a few that actually got to sit in one and get a thorough look at it. Other friends and family went at later times and did not get to sit in the car.
I am 6'4" tall with long legs. I easily slid into and out of the drivers side. It is something I cannot do with the Camry, Accord, Mazda or any other car in this catagory with the exception of the Chevy Malibu. It is waht I look at first in a car.
There were no stickers on the car at all. Nothing about specs or mileage or dimensions. I had to sign up for literature to be sent out to me, which, also means a sales call most likely.
I looked over the fit and finish of the car in a very deatailed way. I was assured by those who were there to answer questions, that the fit and finsih would be the same as I was checking out. But, I guess we won't know till they end up in the dealers lots. I guess there is still going to be some speculation untill then.
I will check in later and see if there are any questions I can answer.
Thanks Guys
