If it's not, it was in the original draft. It's still annoying to have a pushbutton, silly, even. <br><br>The one nice thing about the pushbutton is that you won't have an ignition lock cylinder to wear out, and Nissan's implementation of a smart fob is better than others (though it's a long wait between pressing the button and the engine starting). <br><br>As for the telescoping wheel - I stand corrected, I could've sworn that the wheel in my car didn't telescope, I even have it in my notes. Oh well. I fit just fine, anyway. <br> ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dan Roth]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 18th 2008 12:48PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on In The Autoblog Garage: 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe 2.5S]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/18/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-nissan-altima-coupe-2-5s/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/18/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-nissan-altima-coupe-2-5s/</guid><description><![CDATA[Actually a quick check of the article shows that it says:<br><br>"What happens is you get in, stow the fob in its hard to find slot by your left knee ( it usually latches on after the third try), step on the brake and clutch and press."<br><br>The only thing that is mentioned in regards to leaving it in your pocket is further down discussing opening the door.  Since the comment about the slot being hard to find seems to be the main thrust of the point being made, even though its a totally unnecessary part of the process, Jacob's point seems pretty well founded to me.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Richard]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 18th 2008 3:20PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on In The Autoblog Garage: 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe 2.5S]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/18/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-nissan-altima-coupe-2-5s/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/18/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-nissan-altima-coupe-2-5s/</guid><description><![CDATA[Jacob - Exactly!  I have a four door Altima and the key stays in your pocket during all uses.  The slot is an emergency use only.  The push button keyless entry and starter is one the the best features I have ever used.  I travel for work and get in and out of my car on average 12 times per average work day and I never have to touch my keys.  It is so simple and useful, as well as way less involving as you do not have to touch the keyfob to unlock anything, pull them out to put a key in an ignition, or open the trunk.  People love this feature when I show it to them and wonder why every car does not have this feature.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[J.Crew]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 20th 2008 9:55AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on In The Autoblog Garage: 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe 2.5S]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/18/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-nissan-altima-coupe-2-5s/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/18/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-nissan-altima-coupe-2-5s/</guid><description><![CDATA[I really don't like the resemblance to the Infiniti G coupe.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[TriShield]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 18th 2008 12:15PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on In The Autoblog Garage: 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe 2.5S]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/18/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-nissan-altima-coupe-2-5s/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/18/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-nissan-altima-coupe-2-5s/</guid><description><![CDATA[What's with the 2 chrome pieces on the grille?

My aunt's '05 G35's fob battery is starting to fade and you need to use the key about 50% of the time now.  Its a cool technology at first, but like all the new electronic cr@p put into cars, they get old QUICKLY and start to be the biggest PITA only 2 or 3 years down the road.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Thomas Brown]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 18th 2008 12:26PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on In The Autoblog Garage: 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe 2.5S]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/18/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-nissan-altima-coupe-2-5s/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/18/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-nissan-altima-coupe-2-5s/</guid><description><![CDATA[So does your aunt not enjoy conventional keyless entry either?  I would have thought that replacing a keyfob remote every few years was something that everyone was pretty much used to these days.
