I realize this is a Mustang thread so answers may be understandably biased but I'll post anyway. Love the look of the HPP (don't need a GT so don't want to pay for one). Clearly, Mustang carries more panache than Altima. Let's take that out of the equation. Also take out that Nissan may or may not be a dying brand - I'll take my chances if they go out of business. Resale is a bit of a factor, but not significantly so as I generally keep cars for a long time.
Let's just look at the cars themselves. As I posted on a separate thread, the HPP was underwhelming on the test drive. Granted it probably only had 87 octane, but I'm sure the Altima did too, and it was every bit as fast. I'm sure in the long run the HPP will be faster (track apps, etc.) but it seems not significantly so. I'm on a budget, so I can only go for essentially the base models (and automatic transmission). For about $3,000 less, the Altima gives you way more features - sunroof, lane departure, blindspot, collision warning, etc. I don't necessarily need 4 doors, but it has them.
Any comments? I realize these cars really are in different segments. Just trying to gather any information available. Thanks.
