As far as creature comforts go, I'd choose the Altima. My mother is a Toyota person, so I know the value of reliability. She's had 4 Camry's and an Avalon with nothing more than routine brake jobs and alternators, etc. I say that to show that i'm not biased.

The Altima is bigger, more power, and by now, Nissan should have all of the kinks worked out. Coco is right, that there are many many Altimas out there, but if he is basing it on a car that he has to drive everyday vs. thinking about what looks cooler, I think common sense says to choose the Altima. Of course, if he wants a smaller, sportier car, the Tc is the way to go.

give the tc time...have you seen how many of those boxy xb's are out already? they are everywhere in md. you might even wanna check out a nissan se-r spec v. it is less expensive than either and just as much fun.

I guess it depends on whether you want to be conspicious or not. Personally, I like the fact that there are a few Altimas around (not millions like the Civics/Accords/Camrys), cuz the local constabulary doesn't necessarily know that mine is the muscle-car version (i.e. 3.5L + 5MT), and just assumes it's a 4-banger + slushbox, which is what most are around here. And I debadged the rump of my car (save for the giant hamburger) to make my car even more incognito. Well, to each his (or her) own I guess...
