Dan Neil at the LA Times mulled over the 2007 Nissan Altima Hybrid recently, and he seemed to be pretty dang impressed. Here’s his take - ‘The Altima has been restyled for the 2007 model year, an effort that has merely refined the car’s well loved, cleanly architectural styling: the perfect-arch roofline, the raked windshield, the close-fitting wheel openings and glassine details at the corners. The Altima also shares Nissan’s affection for crisper ride and handling and more vivid steering. The Camry hybrid drives a little bit like the world’s most sophisticated hearse.’

Altima styling and handling with uber- gas mileage? Where do I sign up?
