What do you all think about this...I kinda like it. Of course I have always been a Nissan fan.

Wow!! With the V6, that's going to hurt G35 Coupe sales. But I suppose they've got something else up their sleeves.
I like it, actually I think I like it more than the current G35, and I came very close to buying one of those before I found my Crossfire.

 

This one is strange. Historically, the Maxima has been the
Nissan/Infiniti look a like... Why do the Altima??
Good find...
BTW -- You ready for the Movie Premier in AZ...
9 days and counting...

 

Now you've peaked my curiosity, I really do like the looks of it. It will be something to keep an eye out for, my wife may be needing a new car sooner than she thinks.
That is the only good thing about winter here, it means the car show is coming to town !

 

It sure does look good. A bit of the G35, some styling from the Z...

 

This is going to really hurt the G35 and Z in sales and make a lot of G35 owners unhappy...I personally think it looks just like a G35 but still very nice.

 

Wow! I'm very impressed. I had an Altima before the Crossfire and I was very happy with the quality and service. Might be a car worth looking at when it arrives on the lots.

 

looks alright, but how low is the roof, do you have to be 5 foot nothing to fit inside it comfortably?

 

I don't think it can be much lower than our Crossfires and at 6'4" I fit okay...but you never know.

 

I really like the outside. I'm not to sure about the interior/console. I definitely would drive one for how it looks on the outside, but I guess when you're used to your crossfire interior (which I loveee) you'll never really be satisfied with anything else.

 

I was just coming on this site to tell you all of the same news reported on the Autoweek.com site. This car will be a huge hit. It is a dead on copy of the G35 (except for the nose/grill) at between a $10,000-$15,000 savings. Sure the interior won't be quite as nice but at 50 MPH whizzing by you, nobody will tell the difference. Unless they plan on taking the Z way up market this should really hurt Z car sales. The last time they took the Z up market it wound up going off the market so I don't know what Nissan is thinking. Should be able to load one up to the gills with a 6 Speed for under 30K. Spells success to me.

 

Actually, if you look at the new generation G35 (2008 availability in late 2007), it looks pretty much alike, but smaller.

 

here are some other pics... not a huge fan...

 

Needs better, bigger wheels and LP tires.

 

Does the back end remind anyone of the latest Monte Carlo?

 

Only the color.

 

I've got to stop looking at this thread. That new Altima just may be the car that replaces my Civic. I'm glad I've got all winter to think it over, (and save up).

 

I definitely agree. They put sedan wheels/tires on a 2 door car. The correct wheels can really make a car look better!

 

To me, the back end looks very similar to the Infiniti M series.

 

Caution with the Altima. I know a bunch of people that have them (new ones) and have had a bunch of problems wit them. Especially transmission.
