Having driven the new Altima sedan when it was launched, I can say that it handles extremely well for a FWDer! There's a more comprehensive write-up on the Altima coupe in the Winter issue of Nissan Sport magazine that was just released. Should be available at Borders, Barnes and Noble and Hastings bookstores shortly!

Saw it in person at LA Auto Show and I was pretty impressed.
Overall it looks sleeker than G35 coupe..just that front end is ugly

Thats some good competition to Accord and Solara. Finally, Nissan seems to be catching up to them.

Kinda sucks that its pushing into Z power range. Too bad if it's anything like the SER it will be priced way to high. a friend of mine bought an SE-R last year and paid WELL over 30K for it.I told him he was stupid, but it was a nice car.

It'll probably start around $26K for a VQ powered SE That's just off the top of my head though, although that's about what you can get an '07 SE V6 6MT sedan for...
