Altima avoids Nissan’s model cull

- NISSAN’S Altima narrowly avoided the chopping block in the Japanese brand’s recently announced model range rationalisation, with the company backing the slow-selling mid-size sedan over the more popular Pulsar small hatch.

- Nissan Australia made the surprise announcement last week that the Pulsar hatch – along with the Micra mini-car and ageing Y61-series Patrol – would be dropped by the end of this year, leaving the Pulsar sedan as its sole small-car offering in the all-important segment that makes up about 20 per cent of total new-vehicle sales here.
