As gas prices accelerate hybrids’ conversion from quirky subculture icons to mainstream must-haves, cars like the 2008 Nissan Altima Hybrid are getting more attention. The front-wheel-drive sedan has flown under the radar since its launch in 2007, largely because it’s available only in the eight states that abide by strict California emissions standards. That’s too bad, because the Altima Hybrid offers one of the best combinations of performance, fuel economy, comfort and design that exist in a family sedan. Just as important to some, the Altima Hybrid is, as one Edmunds staffer put it, “a real car. It doesn’t look like the electric car from Woody Allen’s Sleeper.”
Now, if you want all the bells and whistles that make a fuel-sipping vehicle into an indulgent toy, it’ll cost you some, because Nissan bundles its options in pricey packages. But in an era when choosing a car often means sacrificing your wants for your needs, the Altima Hybrid lets you have your cake and eat up the road, too.

There’s a certain type of executive in this country, one who doesn’t go to work in a big-city high rise and one who’s never going to be interviewed by that screaming guy on CNBC. Instead, this working-class exec has an office attached to the company’s frozen food factory or the paper distribution warehouse. He (or she, certainly) makes good money and desires a luxury car, but doesn’t want to show up flaunting a fancy-pants Bimmer or Benz in the same parking lot as the employees’ Saturns and Sunfires. Or perhaps more likely, the company car policy just doesn’t include that Bimmer and Benz.
For our working-class exec, we can think of no better car than the 2009 Nissan Maxima. With all its luxe bells and high-tech whistles, this is an honest-to-goodness luxury sedan for those who don’t want or can’t have the stigma or price associated with a luxury badge. This is a darn good car that rights the deviated course of a nameplate once dubbed the “4-Door Sports Car.” While the 2009 Maxima is not quite the 4DSC its marketers are touting once again, it is a car with few flaws that’s one of the best-handling front-drive sedans available — and that’s without our test car’s Sport package that sullied the ride.
This entire working-class exec concept might seem a little counterintuitive in today’s America that’s (Read the article)

The 2009 Nissan Murano is several steps more radically styled that the original. There are many more curves in the body sheetmetal, a much bigger, shinier grille with a less-busy air intake under it, very large, bold, seven-element headlamps, and a completely new rear-end design, more horizontal than vertical, with dual exhaust ports under the bumper.
Murano models come with 18-inch wheels, with 20-inch wheels standard on the top LE model and optional on the others. Once you get beyond the grille and the headlamps, the only chrome on the curvy new body shell is the door handles. This design strategy lets the body and the paint do all the talking. The new body is almost two counts better in aerodynamic performance than the 2007 version, improved from 0.37 to 0.39 Cd. The more slippery design should mean better highway mileage and less wind noise. (Read the article)
