It's still a NISSAN. :-)

 

I think it's a good looking car, but more like the less popular little sister of the Infiniti. Lexus also has a lot of similarity running through all the models with l-finesse and some of the design lines are also is apparent in the Toyota lines too ... although not quite as apparent as the Altima / G35 pictured here in most cases (think Solara vert and SC430 although currently not a true l-finesse car I think).

I think the new Altima will be a good car for buyers looking for a budget sporty car with a strong motor / 6-speed option. Although if I owned a G35 I can't say I would be happy with the similarity.

 

ah crud! this pisses me off! now how am i supposed to show off that i spent $35K on my g35! they're gonna think its just a piddly $32K 3.5se! don't nissan execs realize that the elite few of us who can afford a $35K luxury car don't want to be mistaken for the peons who can only afford a $32K economy car? now i am really angry!

most moronic thread evar!

 

just like the new corolla seen on here is reminscent of the isx50 series, all the way down to the fricken start button! a corolla and isx50 shouldnt look similar.

 

I'll take it over the current Solara!
The Solara has a nicer interior tho.

 

i saw the new altima today... im sorry to say they fell off with the design. the last stlye i loved it, but this one made me feel kinda sick. from behind looks like some kind of insect.

 

It looks pretty good. It looks more like a scion TC more than anything. It does have some current gen g35 coupe cues though. Not a bad thing...i would definitely not mistake one of those for a G coupe though. My friends' impressions of the altima coupe from the la autoshow is that it doesnt looks at all like a G. They say it looks alot smaller in person. Its a good alternative to the solara and accord coupe

 

I've owned 2 current G35's and It doesn't look anything like a G35 IMO- it does have some cues of infiniti's but looks more scion-ish to me.. I have a '06 G35 coupe - and I'm not pissed... I'm happy - makes my car look better.. HA!!

 

umm, i can definitely see why infiniti owners might not be happy about it. must like whta bentley owners think of the 300c and sc430 owners think of the solara

 

OOoo Looks like time for a Altima--> G35 conversion

 

Eh...it must be my european taste...i personally think that cars design doesnt look especially well though through

 

good looking coupe and engine choices.. too bad no RWD..

 

The more I look at this, the more I'd just get a used G35c.....

 

I didn't know SC430 owners disliked the Solara. Have there been any threads on the subject?

 

Amen to that.
