Nissan Altima Hybrid – Review: She drove a white Prius, and my, did she ever want to race. Kept revving her engine. Rolling, forward and back and glaring over. So when the light changed, we were off, both cars inching off the line, neither wanting to be the first to start their engines. It was exhilarating: five, 10 and up to 30 mph, until she accidentally goosed the throttle, the Prius coughed to life and took off, leaving just the memory of its “Hillary” bumper sticker behind. Sure, the Nissan Altima Hybrid may not make a statement like the Prius, it may be noisy and overpriced, but it's still one of the more fun and comfortable hybrids on the road, at speed or in silent racer mode.
