First introduced for the 1993 model year, the Altima replaced the disappointing Stanza and took up the role of middle child between the smaller Sentra and larger Maxima.

Toyota can see into the 'real future'
In 1997, Toyota introduced the world's first hybrid car to the Japanese market, calling it the "Prius" (Latin for "before"). There wasn't much to the diminutive sedan, but executives knew they had something great on their hands--gas-electric hybrid technologies would be important in the future, and Toyota would get there "before" everyone else. In the twelve years since, the automaker has dominated the segment with a portfolio that currently includes seven unique hybrid cars and SUVs. No other automaker comes close, and quite a few are only bringing out their first hybrid this upcoming year.
