Having just bid adieu to a Four Seasons Nissan Juke, we thought it appropriate to ask our friends at Nissan for a Four Seasons Altima for our fleet. (http://www.automobilemag.com/reviews/12_month_car_reviews/1210_2013_nissan_altima_3_5sl_introduction/index.html)You, like us, might prefer cars that are flashy, exciting, sporty, and beautiful. According to real-world sales figures, however, American consumers resoundingly prefer roomy, affordable, relatively conservative mid-size sedans -- even over big-selling pickup trucks. The Toyota Camry and the Honda Accord are generally the first mid-sizers that come to mind, but Nissan's Altima has held a strong third place in the sales race for many years, and it even eclipsed the Accord for a second-place finish in 2011. That was a relatively long time ago in mid-size-car years, though, as the Altima and several other important entrants (Honda Accord, Ford Fusion, Chevrolet Malibu) are all-new for 2013.
