kizashi got destroyed by hail sunday night

The new Altimas are very nice. They look like Lexuses to me.

All Altimas sold in the US are now CVT (always were FWD). Nissan simply eliminated the manual transmission option from the car given only a small number of consumers opted for them.

Rusty, how do the seats compare? Nissan claims that these seats are "zero-gravity" seats that they tapped NASA to develop. They are said to be comfortable. I didn't get around to checking out an Altima at the DC Auto Show so I wanted to know how the seats compared to the Kizashi's (which I think are very comfortable).

I test drove one and they are REALLY comfortable. They are really soft but give you good support as well.

In the pics it is hard to tell any hail damage. In person it's a different story 16000 dollars worth. I loved that red on the kizashi.

We don't get them here.

They are front wheel drive murcod, yea it was a little more than the kizashi but I made off very well totaling it out. I do have the v6 also pretty quick.

These seats are very comfy. These are bigger than the Kizzy's sportier seat style. I will take pics of the inside when it gets back from the tint shop today. Getting 20% all the way around the car
