NISSAN ALTIMA 2002
Part 1
When Nissan introduced the Xterra sport-utility vehicle just a few years
ago, everyone thought it would cannibalize sales of the company's other, the
Pathfinder. After all, it was rough. When same size, had a similar engine option,
and cost a lot less.
Guess what? Pathfinder sales are up. Nissan successfully differentiated the
target markets for the two products and hit them ridht on the nose. Nissan has a
similar plan for the 2002 Altima, which, in its new, enlarged form with an
optional 3.5 liter V-6, looks for all the world like a Maxima replacement.
The Altima will have a size advantage; it's longer, taller, roomier, and a
fraction wider and an edge in power from each of its engine configurations when
compared with the Camry and Accord.
It's not bad-looking, either, with an aggressive shovel-nosed front end and a
dramatic rear end that flashes occasional Passatlike aspects at you when it isn't
fascinating you with a split-plane bumper molding that plays with the light in a
most becoming fashion. The front and rear lights are clear-lensed units with a
voguish bejeweled look, and we particularly like the round brake lights - like
those of the Jag S-type - that appear as concentric rings of light points. The four-
cylinder and V-6 versions both have dual exhaust tailpipes. All Altimas for the
North American market will be assembled in the Tennessee towns of Smyrna
and Decherd, and they will be the first Nissan assembled there to benefit from
