A diverse lineup includes the hot-selling Altima, quirky Cube, and rugged Pathfinder.

Nissan Altima

The Altima comes in two guises: the popular midsize sedan and a sleek coupe. Both receive facelifts, standard stability control and some upgraded options for 2010, while the 3.5 SE models are renamed 3.5 SR. The base engine is a 175-hp 4-cylinder, while the 3.5 SR models come with a punchy 270-hp V6. Edgy styling, quality interiors, sporty handling, strong feature content and good safety ratings make the Altima an attractive choice for practically anyone.
