Following Toyota’s move to produce more Camrys at its Princeton, Indiana plant, Nissan will shift workers at its Canton, Mississippi car and truck plant to build more Altima sedans and fewer large trucks.

Nissan Altima sales were up 43.6 percent in May to 34,428 units while Titan sales fell 55.8 percent to 2,163 units and Armada SUV sales fell 52.1 percent to 1,212.

The shift to produce more Altima cars will result in about 2,000 more cars a month.

Nissan’s Smyrna, Tennessee plant that produces Altima sedans, coupe and hybrids will not see an alteration in the assembly line due to the launch of the Nissan Maxima.

    This is a good move, but listen up Nissan. After looking at several local Nissan dealers recently, Nissan needs to produce more high end Altimas with a 4 cylinder. The economy dictates consumers to look at 4's over the V-6's. This does not mean that because they are looking at 4 cylinder engines that they want hubcaps, no sunroof, cloth seats, and a big hole where navigation belongs. Make more money, offer more 2.5SL models. There is no need to have 25 S's and only 2 SL's.

    Interesting: Toyota & Nissan are going to up production of their midsize sedans (Camry/Altima) whereas Honda is upping their compact Civic … I don't think I've heard anything about the Accord production.
