In all honesty, I seriously doubt fully loaded Altimas are stealing THAT many sales from base G35s. I think Nissan still does enough to differentiate the G from the Altima, although with the Coupe they're cutting it a bit close. Still, if anyone should be worried it should be Honda, the Altima Coupe is sure to steal more than a handful of sales from would be Accord Coupe buyers. We won't even talk about the boring, bloated boat that is the Solara.

I expect a quicker fix than 3-4 months for a serious issue like this.
Plus, you have to remember that Nissan/Infiniti is introducing the intelligent key across the entire model line now. (Even the Altima comes with it, what's the point in buying an Infiniti for thousands more??)

If this happens to you, you can't start your car no matter what, right?
There is no place to put the metal key in the ignition, and putting the i-key in the dash won't work either because the code is still scrambled.
So, I think it is pretty unreasonable to make people wait 3-4 months to fix a problem that can totally prevent a vehicle from starting...
This could be bad, what if you have a medical emergency in the family or something and you run out and your $35k luxury car won't start because of a cell phone?
And to the other poster who mentioned a problem with GM's keys, well, they work great. Just because you know one guy who had a problem doesn't mean anything. GM hasn't had a major problem with their keyless entry like this...

And there have been two people here recently that have been able to get their car going again when this has happened. One person put the intelligent key in the slot on the dash, and the other person disconnected the positive terminal on the battery (disconnect negative first). This gives us something to try in the event this happens to us.
