I read the US data often, and the Corolla has just gone to first place- it has not been there before. The Camry has been number one CAR in the US for years, after it passed the Ford Taurus. (Ford and Chevy trucks both outsold the Camry in 2007, 2006, 2005, etc) Corolla includes the "Matrix" in their sales numbers, by the way. Corolla has been selling for 40 years, though, so the total sales worldwide are highest, by far.

The Altima is not a niche car for a niche market. It is in the top 10 most sold cars in the US. If "uniqueness" was a factor for you, then you made a bad purchase.

I LOL at this thread though. There are far more expensive cars out there used as cabs. Mercedes-Benz, BMW, etc.

Pray tell me, what "respect" are you talking about losing in the first place? No, not saying that the Altima doesn't have any, but what exactly are you referring to?

Later edit: Rizaman and Wendy Kay voted yes. I dunno about you Rizaman, but Wendy Kay you sound young to me. Why'd you get a family sedan instead of a ... I dunno ... Eclipse, just like every other young girl out there? I don't see any Eclipse cabs.

As if being a cab driver is a sub-human endeavor. What's next badboy, topics about "Altima and respekt: is it being affected because midgets drive them?"

now i would think we would all agree that this 1 passenger cab is the best.
although it would be lil awkward sitting next to the driver..



i forgot that lexus made hybrids...then altima is #2 Stylish Hybrid in the world then.

How is that a down grade???

Lets see someone obviously realized the great value of a automobile that is roomy, fuel effecient, and easy enough to drive in a place like NYC...

So explain to me how that is a down grade?

I'd much rather see a bunch of Altimas in NYC than the currecnt majority of Crown Vics or Lincoln Towncars.

i think its props to the altima. cabs carry heavy and full loads, so a cab has to have good power under pressure, which this shows that the altima does well under stress, as well as can be "abused" and take it with class. this just further states the class and balls of the altima. i personally dont think the cab looked that bad. a definate improvement to the crown vics look

Looks fine to me. If you think about it, the Ford Taurus has always been classified as an automatic "rental car". The Ford 500 wasn't a rental car because of the name, regardless of the fact that they rebadged the same exact vehicle one model year later back to Taurus.

Since Enterprise rents out Altima 2.5's now, does that put it in the same boat as the Ford Taurus? Not in my opinion.

The Civic is actually the #1 selling car in the US as it, the Camry, and Corolla all surpassed the Ford F150 which held the title for a LONG time (17 years).

Ding Ding... We have a winner. If the Civic Si had fit a Rear Facing Baby Seat better, I'd be driving a FBP or White Si Sedan.

160-170km/h = 100 - 107mph
I pushed my 3.5 3rd gen all the way to the limit, IIRC 216km/h / 135mph
THAT was fun.
