As a user kindly pointed out to me in a recent $20-something K sedan showdown, the Nissan Altima is as relevant as ever. And they were right, if you're ONLY talking about sales figures.
**Note: The Nissan Altima was the fourth most-sold car in 2011.
Aside from sales figures though, it has aged quite a bit. Not like fine wine. Not one bit.
That being said, Nissan will be unveiling the 2013 Altima at the 2012 New York Auto Show, which appears to have underwent a drastic change. Of course this meant that Nissan would opt-in to do the auto businesses latest public relations move, otherwise known as the "slow reveal."
You know, it's the patented strategic decision to have bloggers post about a taillight or front air vent to the point it becomes as exciting as watching slugs race.
Which is actually a pretty good comparison to the excitement of an Altima launch.
I had to.
Anyhoo, look for the new Altima in New York. We'll be on site to see if the Altima can keep it's reigning grasp on midsize sedan sales charts.
Nissan has released a third video clip and image offering another glimpse of the bold design of the all-new 2013 Altima sedan in advance of its world premiere at the New York Auto Show in April.
The rear view offers a hint of the all-new Altima's design and forward-thinking innovations, which will bring outstanding fuel economy, premium design inside and out, and driver-focused technologies to a midsize sedan.
