It's still half of a 5 year old Accord..... :fawk:

Has anyone else noticed how the Sable's monthly sales have pretty much tripled from January to June?

I'm guessing Mercury's ramping up the fleet sales, but I may be wrong...

Nah, it's because of 9/11. All domestic sales have picked up since then because of the rash of patriotism. There are alot more Sables and Tauruses on the road since then, and I wanna barf everytime I one.

I think it makes more sense to have 2 door Altima than 2 door Maxima. Since it seems to me that right now Nissan is going head to head against Toyota, so Nissan would make a competitor for each Toyota model(at least the successful ones in Toyota family), therefore, it will produce Altima coupe against Solara and Accord coupe. As far as Maxima, it's like a ES300 rival or Avalon rival, and both of these two Toyota's are sedan.

I left out the pickup because I don't remember them.

you're chart is very confusing...could you clean it up so i can better understand what it says

I highly doubt that Nissan will make a two-door Altima. Aside from the sportier cars like the 350Z, G35 Sport Coupe, and the Skyline GTR, all of Nissan's cars are sedans. Even the SE-R.

i will mention that it is nice to see nissan up the ante in the performance department...both nissan and honda have made some very nice and capable sports cars and sedans...honda has been shy in offering greater performance but it doesn't want to mess with its successful formula...if the accord and civic tank then honda may become affordable to one of the big 3

Heh, I don't see that happening either, atleast no time soon. GM could easily buy out Honda, but that would be a dark day for the auto industry. Just thinking of the consequences gives me shivers. :shocked:

Well you are mistaken. The altima is on a very good brand new platform. the next gen maxima will be on a stretched version of this platform.

I don't think Nissan should make a 2 door Maxima or Altima because that would cut into the Z sales. Like the Accord coupe just destroyed the Prelude. They should make a coupe similar to the Sentra.
