"Best Looking"?????? When I see one on the road from the rear it reminds me of a big ol Buick rom the 50's, but that's just me LOL

Doesn't the Altima use Toyota's HSD system? Anyhow, beauty's in the eyes of the purse-holder. Nevertheless:

Quote:

Standard equipment on the Altima Hybrid includes 16-in. wheels, a tilting, telescoping steering wheel, an eight-way power driver's seat, and a six-speaker audio system with a CD player. The car also comes with a keyless entry/starter system, a convenience you usually only see on luxury cars. As long as you have the key fob with you, you can open the doors without a key and start the car at the push of a button...[/b]

'nuff said...

I've driven one and loved every minute of it compared to my Prius. If it wasn't for the carpool lane stickers I would have bought it.

Toyota parts were abound, the display was the older style Prius's etc etc.

"telescoping steering wheel, an eight-way power driver's seat" -YES. but...
I don't think I'm ready to downsize to "nine cubic feet of luggage space" and back seats that don't fold down.

aren't those two bolded equipment standard on the TCH too?
