Nissan is making several changes to their cars for next year. One of their oldest and most successful rides, the economical Sentra, is up for a redux.

The Japanese auto maker has been at the drawing board and is ready to show off a variety of refreshers and new models.

There will be a redesigned version for all of the Versa subcompact 4and 5-door models, the Sentra compact sedan, and the Altima midsize coupe, plus there will be a new sedan in the next two years. Nissan is also stating that they will be bringing out some more new models, but these big plans do not include a revival of the old 240SX.

According to Nissan, the car will not sell on the market and an estimated number of 30,000 units a year is not convincing.

Instead of coming out with a new model, Nissan plans on creating a coupe version of the current Sentra.

Future Nissans have to be "high-volume and high-share kind of products." Nissan is "not looking to fill every niche, every opportunity." "They could come up with 15 other cars we should have."

As for the next generation Altima, it will be radically changed. Dealers have already seen the shortened version and seem to be impressed.

Nissan North America, Inc. (NNA) today announced U.S. pricing for the 2011 Nissan Altima Sedan, Altima Coupe and Altima Hybrid. All three vehicles are on sale now at Nissan dealers nationwide.

The popular Nissan Altima Sedan, now in its fourth generation, provides an innovative combination of quality, exhilarating performance, sporty design and exceptional value in the mid-size sedan class. Again in 2011, Altima is available in a number of well-equipped models designed to appeal to a broad range of buyer needs and budgets, including 175-horsepower 2.5-liter inline 4-cylinder and 270-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 engine equipped versions. For the…
