2008 Altima Coupe - Page 3

Well, the original post was edited.

In a nicer way of saying it, the new Altima has no character. That's it.

It's ugly and lol-wheel drive. Why? I just can't see it being a competitor to the G35, only possibly to a three-year old G35 coupe when a secretary is looking for a "stylish" ride.

The Altima has styling, not style.

They're going to sell a ton of them things. G35 looks at Altima prices. I see the aftermarket being huge for that car and envision ricers putting Skyline badges on that. Unfortunate? Yes. Nissan just wants sales and they'll get 'em.

Nice car, but I wouldn't buy one personally. I, like many here, prefer RWD in any performance coupe or sedan i consider. One reason I stayed away from Acura. I don't foresee these taking away from G35 sales. As already mentioned, those shoppers will be cross-shopping with Lexus, BMW, Benz and perhaps Audi.

agreed. a drop with some nice rims, different grill and de-badged, it would look pretty clean..

Yeah, I agree with that. It needs a more agressive stance and some Enkei wheels on there. I think they should have made the wheel arches a lot more flared to make it look more sporty.

There's a few around town already and one at my apartment complex. This car has got some nice curves. It really does look good!

I think its a great looking car. Luxurious interior and sexy rear.

i'm personally not convinced they will sell a ton of them. in that price and performance range, a v6 fwd coupe is a tough sell. look at gm they've all but stopped making a car in that platform. dealers can give away monte carlos.

The local Nissan store has one. It's a damn nice car and it has it's place.

I have chuckle at those looking down on the Altima coupe because it is FWD. If it were an Audi coupe, some of the same people would be drooling over it.

The question is...

If someone asked you to detail it, would you turn it down?

e'nuff said!
