If you stop into John Howard Nissan anytime soon, you'll see an impressive lineup of 2012 Nissan Altima sedans. While you may not realize it by looking at the sporty and sleek design of the sedan, this year is very special to Nissan and this lineup favorite. In fact, this year, the Japanese automaker is celebrating 20 years of the Altima!

It doesn't seem that long ago that the first 1992 Nissan Altimas starting hitting the streets. But it's really been 20 years. In honor of two decades of the best-selling car in their lineup, Nissan is offering a special edition "20^th Anniversary Package," which includes 16-inch, aluminum-alloy wheels; fog lights; rear spoiler; leather-wrapped steering wheel; Bluetooth; HomeLink Universal Transceiver and more. If you opt for the package (as opposed to purchasing each option separately), you'll save $900 right off the bat.

In 20 years, Nissan has sold 3.6 million Altimas; it's one of the best-selling cars in the United States. And for all the years the Japanese automaker has sold the popular sedan in America, it's been manufactured right here in our home country - even being exported to many other countries.

Al Castignetti, Vice President and General Manater, Nissan Division, Nissan North America, Inc., says of the vehicle's success, "From its uncertain beginnings, Altima has grown to be a real power nameplate for Nissan...a position we intend to hold for many more anniversaries to come."¹

In 2012, you'll find the lineup favorite to be fun, comfortable, and reliable with a laundry list of high-end options. That said, we invite you to come down to John Howard Nissan (1730 Mileground Morgantown WV 26505), to celebrate 20 years of the Nissan Altima.
