2008 Altima Coupe

[Fataldawg]

Looks kinda like a cheaper version of a G35 coupe/350Z. Not suprising considering they're all Nissans. Doesnt look too bad for a 20-25 thousand dollar car.. The coupe will be 4 inches shorter then the Altima Sedan and will be drop this summer.. I couldnt find any pictures of the back end though.

The side view looks like the lovechild of the G35 coupe and the Scion tC (especially with those wheels), which isn't necessarily a bad thing. However, the front end of the car, specifically the grille, looks really cheesy. More than likely, this will be a FWD car, so it'll probably be fun but nothing to get excited about. It will be a cheaper but still good alternative to a G35 coupe buyer who doesn't want to spend as much money and doesn't care too much about performance. Any word on which engines Nissan plans to use? I'd be surprised if they used the 3.5-liter V-6, since that would definitely overpower the front wheels and cause tons of wheelspin, wheel hop and understeer while potentially taking away a few 350Z/G35 coupe buyers. Maybe their 2.5-liter with an LSD would be the more likely setup.

It will have either a 170-hp, 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine or the 3.5-liter VQ V6 rated at 270 horsepower and 258 ft-lbs. of torque, both available with either an Xtronic CVT or 6-speed manual.

I like it actually.
