Hybrid Car Review: 2011 Nissan Altima

New cars come and go, but every year, more new hybrids are hitting the streets. Personally, I spend a lot of my time keeping track of health and fitness and blogging about that, and don't keep track of what's going on. Also, I have been driving my 2006 Toyota Prius for the last five years and intend to keep it for 10 more. However, there are people who can keep the both of us up-to-date on what's new in the hybrid car arena. Erica Christensen is one of these, and I hope you enjoy, and benefit from, her article which I have posted below:
