How can you tell it's a 5-speed from looking at the picture?

Its a vast improvement compared to the current Altima's interior. They need to get rid of the altezza style tails though.:down:

This is better than the current offering...but not enough for me to go rush out and cross shop it with the Accord.

tacky wood trim IMO. i rather the plastic. I wonder why they didn't put the chrom-ish trim in the alty

thank GOD they didn't stick a buck-tooth in the middle of the grille. that would have just killed it.. the steering wheel looks pretty crappy, and the tail lights are still horrible, but otherwise i think it looks a lot better inside and out!

maxima sales are down very low...lowest in years...the altima is just too close a car at cheaper price and cannibalization happens...it looks like they are maximazing the altima anyway
