The second generation Nissan Altima (codenamed L30) was an American market-only version, again styled by Nissan's California design center. Most of its mechanicals came from the previous Altima, though the body was slightly larger and reportedly 20% stiffer, and the tracks were widened. A new interior brought a better glovebox and cupholders, a folding back seat (except on XE), and depowered airbags. While total volume remained identical at 108 cubic feet, most felt it was distributed better and resulted in a slightly roomier-feeling cabin. On the downside, many were let down by the new model's plainer styling and cheapened interior; some ... felt the gas pedal was now too lightly sprung.
