Decoding the Iconic Cars of the 2000s: From Official Picks to Ford's Finest Concepts

The third-generation Nissan Altima is considered the official car of the 2000s due to its popularity and influence on design trends. With its elegant yet blocky appearance, the Altima incorporated elements from the flagship 350Z in a more accessible package.
