LA Times' Dan Neil likes the Nissan Altima Hybrid
The Los Angeles Times' Dan Neil recently wrote a review of the new 2007 Nissan Altima Hybrid and, well, he pretty much likes it. In many respects it's very much like a new Toyota Camry Hybrid, which is to be expected since Nissan is licensing the battery and control technology for their first hybrid vehicle from Toyota. The Altima loses some trunk space to the battery and electronics, bring it down to just over 9 cubic feet. However, the Nissan's curvier styling combined with sharper steering and handling definitely make it more of a driver's car than the more benign Camry. Follow the Read link to see the full review.

Nissan is making a strong entry into electic hybrid vehicles. The Nissan Altima Hybrid will be making the 1st challenge to Toyota's Camry hybrid. The Toyota gives 40mpg city and 192bhp! I wonder what the bhp on the Nissan will be ??

Cool engine huh! very clean, yah no wonder why nissan is considered to be one of the cleanest cars in the market it is because of they they assembled auto parts like Nissan a/c condensers - http://www.shopnisparts.com/nissan-ac-condenser/ - that disperse heat coming from the engine.
