Nissan is maximizing its production capacity utilization at the Smyrna plant, enabling the production of 500,000 vehicles annually. The company plans to build approximately 400,000 vehicles in the current fiscal year. When Maxima production begins in 2003, the plant will build 75,000 of the sedans annually.

The U.S. government considers a car with over 78% U.S. parts an American made car. The Altima qualifies as such since 1998 when KA engine manufacturing started in the U.S. If the Max has over 78%, it will be considered the same.
