By Caitie | Posted in Dealer Information, New Nissan on Wednesday, May 16th, 2012 at 3:22 PM

More than 4.4 Million Altima’s have hit the road in the past 20 years. The first generation rolled off the vehicle assembly line in Smyrna, Tennessee in 1992 and the 5th generation Nissan Altima is about to do the same! The 2013 Nissan Altima is the most innovative and fuel efficient of the lot with the most dynamic performance and premium style. Vice Chairman of Nissan Americas, Bill Krueger alongside Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam Joined the Smyrna team members as the first all-new mid-size sedan rolled off the assembly line.

“The Nissan Altima ranks among the country’s top-selling cars and best-known nameplates,” said Bill Krueger, vice chairman, Nissan Americas. “This generation is not only the most innovative Altima ever, it also becomes the benchmark for quality in the midsize car segment. And there’s no better plant to rise to the challenge than our top-quality manufacturing operations in Smyrna.”

“We are proud that Nissan calls Tennessee home and that the Altima has been made here for more than two decades,” Haslam said. “This new model is a testament to the company’s strong brand and globally competitive reputation and a reflection of our state’s talented workforce.” Gov. Haslam

Interior 360 ONLINE | 2013 Nissan Altima in Ottawa, ON

By James | Posted in Dealer Information, New Nissan on Thursday, May 3rd, 2012 at 3:44 PM

Curious what the newly redesigned interior of the all new 2013 Nissan Altima sedan is going to look like? We have your solution! The next section of our 2013 Nissan Altima information hub is now online – the Interior section! We have a working 360 degree interior panorama online, as well as some great information about the interior materials, the technology involved in the steering wheel, the new Advanced Drive-Assist Display (located between the gauges), the nav system, the Google integration – good stuff all around. The more I get to work with this car, the more I learn about it, the more I’m impressed with it.

We mentioned it before but I’m going to mention it again, the pre-order bonus has been announced as well – an excellent extended warranty for the new 2013 Nissan Altima sedan, boosting the standard Nissan warranty from 36 months / 60,000 km to a whopping 48 months / 100,000km. That’s a huge bonus and a huge benefit – an extra warranty like this would retail from $1250 or so on the four cylinder Altima to a full $1500 or so on the V6 edition.

That’s a FREE bonus for pre-ordering a new 2013 Altima, no strings attached. Click through to check out the new Altima interior page of our microsite, or click here to take a look at the pre-order page and get some more info about the warranty bonus and what’s involved in pre-ordering a new 2013 Nissan Altima.

EMPLOYEE PRICING IS BACK | 417 Nissan in Ottawa, ON

By James | Posted in Dealer Information, New Nissan, Specials on Thursday, May 3rd, 2012 at 11:14 AM

This is amazing stuff, the Employee Pricing promotion we ran last year has been announced and updated for this May, and the savings are ridiculous. Japanese car manufacturers are not known for employee pricing discounts, and Nissan’s run last year with this promo was a runaway success, so they’re going for it here again. The full details, discounts and deals available are all listed on our promotion page, which you can click through to here, or by clicking the image below.

Couple of highlights I’ll make a mention of here, we have a whopping $13,500 discount on the Nissan Titan (cash purchase); big discounts on both the Titan and the Frontier for lease and finance as well, employee discounts + extra money off; I see the 2012 Altimas have 0% financing and a nice ~6k discount as well, and sizeable discounts for the Nissan Juke, the new Nissan Versa sedan – typically newer vehicle designs/models don’t carry with them a great deal of flexibility, so it’s nice to see those cars get some love too.

Click through to the ad, check it out, give us a call, shoot us an email – drop by for a test drive. This is one of the best promos you are going to see all year from Nissan Canada, and we’re thrilled to be able to offer it again!

2013 Nissan Altima Influenced by a Hyundai?

By Caitie | Posted in Feedback, New Nissan on Wednesday, May 2nd, 2012 at 3:15 PM

Unveiled in March at the New York Auto Show the 2013 Nissan Altima became an instant hit. It’s re-design awed the crowds and the response to the new look and power has been astonishing. While most would think the Altima redesign was built to match and compare with it’s top competitor the Toyota Camry, the 2013 Nissan Altima was built to compare to something else. The Hyundai Sonata rocked its sedan segment when it was first released 3 years ago and Nissan was looking to match something a little less conservative.

“Clearly, we referenced the Sonata when we were going through the design process,” Nissan executive vice president of global planning and marketing Andy Palmer told WardsAuto. “We even delayed development by a short amount just to check that the [new Altima’s] proportions were right, the [package] was right, [and that] the product overall was right.” Source: WardsAuto

The Hyundai Sonata and Nissan Altima have very simliar rooflines and body details. Nissan admired the look of the Sonata so much it delayed production to make sure the design was just right to stand up against it’s new design competitor. Nissan hasn’t given up on trying to wow Toyota Camry Customers. It is still it’s leading competitor when it come’s to performance. The Nissan Altima is the 2nd highest selling sedan in America, right behind the Toyota Camry.

Nissan Altima Vs. Toyota Camry

Why do drivers love the Toyota Camry?

The Toyota Camry offers a bit more space to the back seat passengers and is a very conservative mid-size sedan. Both equipped with powerful v-6′s and match-up with their handeling however, the Nissan Altima has more leg room for it’s driver, a strong responsive six-cylinder acceleration and a far more modern exterior design. Also, the 2013 Nissan Altima MSRP will impact you bank account less than the Toyota.

The new 2013 Nissan Altima is in high-demand and we look forward to having it at 417 Nissan in the near future. You can pre-order your 2013 Nissan Altima today with 417 Nissan! Click here to go through the easy steps to get you step up to own a brand new 2013 Nissan Altima!

Paint Colours and 360 view | 2013 Nissan Altima

By James | Posted in Dealer Information, New Nissan on Thursday, April 26th, 2012 at 11:59 AM

UPDATE: I just spoke with Chris Edwards, General Sales Manager over at 417 Nissan, and apparently we’ve got word that there appears to be a pre-order bonus that’s going to be associated with the new 2013 Nissan Altima, something about an extended warranty. This never really happens, seeing a manufacturer offering a pre-order bonus associated with a new vehicle, so it’s AWESOME to see Nissan Canada supporting this incredible new mid-sized sedan in this way. Details to come as they become available, stay tuned.

After some hard work and elbow grease, we’ve added a new module to our 2013 Nissan Altima Exterior page; colour selector and 360 degree spinning view of the new 2013 Altima!

I had moved on to begin work on the new 2013 Altima Interior page, when my wife was browsing the site and tells me, “James, why can’t I pick colours and see the car here, that’s why I clicked on the exterior page in the first place.” It got me thinking. I was thinking my wife was right – that colour selectors and a full look around the car is an important feature to our microsite and it darn well should be in there.

Thus and therefore, lo and behold, it is done, and it is good! Click through to check it out here, or click the picture below, and stay tuned for the Interior page, that’s coming up next and will have a full 360 panorama view of the interior of the new Altima as well. I can promise it’s just as gorgeous as the rest of the beautiful new 2013 Nissan Altima sedan, and the functionality will be installed as soon as it launches.

The last thing I want to mention is we’ve received, here at 417 Nissan in Ottawa, ON, the full details on the Altima – it’ll just be a matter of time and energy until we have it posted online. We have pricing, we have trim details, specifications, estimated release date, we have a LOT of info on the vehicle, and ALL of it will be available here at our 2013 Nissan Altima sedan microsite.

IF, however, we’re not posting the answer to YOUR specific question, just give us a call, (613) 749-9417, or shoot us an email through our Contact Us page, and we’re more than happy to help. We’d love to hear from you, we’d love to talk 2013 Altima; this is YOUR dealership for the 2013 Nissan Altima and 417 Nissan is THE place to put in a preorder to be one of the first people in Ottawa, ON to own one!
