its startin to grow on me...then i realize how bad its gonna affect our G's resale value and I start to get a little mad. lol

 

Good find Terry!

After seeing the car in person, Id have to say we have nothing at all to worry about. There are only glimpses of resemblance to be honest. Giving the car a look all around, it doesn't step on our toes at all. We will be fine.

 

i like it ... great evolution of the altima

 

yeah, no doubt. the 20k though is only for the 2.5 liter one with only 170 hp. Which means it will be competing that the rsx type s (used since the rsx is now dead) which has more power and is lighter. The 3.5 liter one "starts" at 25k, but can't you imagine with all options that it will be near 30k after the sale? Seeing that, they are paying near 30k for a knockoff G35, when they could spend an extra 6 or 7k to get the real thing.

p.s. I got hit on by a nissan girl (one of the hostess while looking at this car at the D.C. autoshow lol) while looking at this car. Too bad it was probably just a sales ploy lol.

 

lol.. seroiusly guys, if you havent seen the car in person, you really wont mistake it for a G. It definitely has its' own design cues. Nothing to worry about.

 

yeah not being RWD takes the fund out of this car, it does look nice though.. but yeah it will hurt the resale value.. but not by that much..

 

This car WILL NOT hurt resale value. I can almost guarantee you that.

 

From the side (magazine advertisements), it looks pretty good. But from the front (first time I've seen it), it's kinda ugly. Hood resembles that of the earlier 350Zs. Too bad it's gonna be FWD, but at least it'll stay out of G/Z territory. For some reason, the Altima coupe looks a bit smaller too (look at the man trying to get in the driver's seat).

 

whats with the all red tail lights? is that going to be production or is that just demo?

because the current altima sedan tail lights are clear with some red and yellow, looks sweet.

 

Im pretty sure they will be red just like that.

 

bleh, i dont like em, sedan ones are better

granted i havent seen the coupe in person

 

this gives the altima a much younger look and appeal. They seem to be going after the right crowd. They will make a bunch of dough off of the altima coupe imo.

 

Def agree.

The sedan is very nice imo. Its interior and exterior are very well designed. For 20k you can't go wrong.

 

from a profile view... the doors on the altima looks much smaller... there is similarities but as my coach once said "it all comes down to details" the "minor" detials make all the difference btwn this car and the G
