It's sad to say that our year with the G35s is almost up. So, like all of our test cars about to go away, we took it to the track. While you'll have to wait for the long-term wrap-up to get the official numbers, follow the link below to see some videos of the day.
Braking from 60 (yes I was the camera operator here, and yes I was killed.)

I love the G35. I'd love to take it off of your hands when you guys are done with it :) That is, if I had the money :(
I feel like it's been a while since we've seen a post about the Nissan Altima. What's it been up to lately?

The Altima has gone to a big pasture in Tennessee where Nissan retires former long-term cars.

Looks like there are several makes you haven't sampled from, at least recently. Maybe a Chrysler/Dodge, Lincoln/Mercury, Saab, Subaru, or Volvo will take the G's parking space?

How come you guys dont post a blog entry like this one whenever a car's term is finished? For some cars, like the Nissan Altima, Cadillac SRX and Mercedes R500, the blog posts just abruptly stop coming.

I agree with everyone here.
It is weird there haven't been posts here on the Altima in almost 2 months, I also think there should be a car like greenpony suggested to be put in the G's place, and it is odd that you guys stop blogging on some of the cars.
I know I pretty much just said what everyone else said, but yeah..

Cars stopped being blogged about when we no longer have them any more. They're departure is signified by its Long-Term Wrap article that is posted on Inside Line -- however, it takes a while for those articles to be written and go live. However, posting these sort of "The G35 is leaving" blog is something to consider for the future.

Jriz,
Thanks for the information.
So pretty much what you're saying is that the Altima is still in the fleet, but it hasn't been blogged on in a while ?
Oh, and another question.
(Sorry to be a pest)
When are the long-term tests of the Smart, Grand Caravan, and G8 going to go live ?

carfreak8394, James' reply in the second comment meant the Altima has "left the building."
Commenting during the middle of the day...are you on spring break over there in FL?

Subytrojan,
Ok; I was a bit confused there.
I didn't realize it was a full year already with the Altima.
And yes, I am on Spring Break until Monday.
(:

Boy all the Nissans are gone. Altima, Versa and soon to be gone G35.
I'd really like to see a new Pontiac Vibe/Toyota Matrix in the mix too.
