]]> 08 Nissan Altima Hybrid

If you are not aware, hybrid technology is extremely expensive to develop and implement, that's why some manufacturers are striking deals. A few years ago Nissan made a deal with Toyota to buy into their hybrid technology, which will allow them to produce their next hybrid vehicle, the 2008 Nissan Altima Hybrid.

The ability for Nissan to 'buy into' the hybrid technology Toyota has already developed will save them countless dollars to develop the technology in house. The engine lurking under this hood will be a little less potent that your normal internal combustion Nissan engine, but couple with the electric motor should produce up to 198 horsepower. The Nissan Altima hybrid will be running on the 2.5 liter QR25 engine.

As you can tell from the 08 Altima picture above, there are no different styling cues that will separate the hybrid from the normal Altima. There will be some hybrid badges, but everything else will remain the same, just like the 07 Altimas.

]]> Have you heard that Nissan is planning on beefing up their latest 350Z car?  If not then you need to jump on the Nissan rumor train, because the next evolution of the 350Z will be the 370Z.  The follow up to the 350Z is rumored to be lighter, nimbler, and more powerful to offer a more sporty over all experience.

Thanks to the boys over at Motor Trend it looks like we have found our first spy shot of the 370Z.

]]> Spy photos of the next 2009 Nissan Maxima during testing this week. A few things to notice about the 09 Maxima is that it will be slightly larger than previous years and a redesigned flat grill. There may be more lurking under the camo, but that's all we can see for now in this upcoming Maxima.
