One More For The Dead-Hybrid List: RIP Nissan Altima Hybrid - Green Car Reports
Launched in late 2007, the hybrid version of the Nissan Altima used Nissan's own four-cylinder engine mated to the Hybrid Synergy Drive system licensed from Toyota. The Altima Hybrid was Nissan's first-ever production hybrid vehicle, and the company built roughly 35,000 of them over four years. The Nissan Altima Hybrid got good marks for handling--better than the 2008 Prius it was sometimes compared to--and helped Nissan offer a higher gas-mileage car both to retail buyers and fleets.
