What makes you think it was a Nissan? That top one almost looks like it could be a Volkswagen or Audi.

The top one may be the new Altima.

i don't think it's the Camry...

as I said on CSS...I know it's not the camry b/c the taillights are different...the reverse light is going verstically; whereas, the camry's goes horizonatally with the signal
it's not a camry for sure...whether it is nissan or

it may be the camry and those are just bad pictures and some colors are distorted, but from what i see, it doesn't look like it

I hope you guys know Nissan, Toyota and Honda headquarters are within 5 mins driving distance of each other. Driving around to taunt the other manufacturer? I highly doubt it.

Thanks Flipside. Right in that area of about a 3 mile radius you have Daimler-Chrysler, Hyundai, Toyota, and Nissan. So by that assumtion it could be a Nissan or Infiniti (It's not because the shape is not of current Nissan design), Toyota, Lexus, Or Scion (considering the second car is definately the Yaris, it's very likely one of these). It could be a Hyundai, or Kia... but considering that all of their new sedans have just been shown (except the Amanti facelift which we've already seen pics of and it is most definately not this). Lastly, it could be a Chrysler, Dodge, or Jeep... Maybe a Mercedes. but all those companys use large, blocky styling, not smooth curving styling

IMO, Considering the neighborhood and what's coming soon, I think it can only be a Camry or ES.

yes, thank you for that... next time I'll do my best to clarify which comments are meant to be humourous.
