I like it a lot ... the interior looks pretty sweet too. Haven't paid any attention to these ... when are they coming out, if they already haven't?

It does not look that bad. To me it just looks like a shorter version of a g35...

I think it looks damn good. If it gets the rev-up or HR version of the vq35 + the 6speed = sweet. An SE-R version would be awesome. If it came in RWD I might trade the Z.

it doesnt look nearly as hot in person sadly. Maybe its because of the sentra looking front end, and the 16 inch wheels on the car. These pics make the car look MUCH hotter than it actually is.

Why would they do that?

The Altima and the G35 have absolutely no relation to each other and will attract a different crowd.

Plus, like I have always been saying, they really look more like other cars than the G.

Putting a Infiniti G35 sign on a NISSAN would be iike seeing Toyota Camry's with the Lexus IS350 sign (or a 350z with a Sentra badge )

Wait, what motor is it going to have? If it has the VQ35 as an option what fun would it be to have a Z. All it would be is a FWD Z. Crazy.

look at the roof lines and rear quarter window. exactly like a g. you seem like your in denial that your G is compared to a lowly altima. think of it as a compliment. nissan sees that g35's are selling like hot cakes and made an alternative, lesser priced, coupe so even more people can afford it

I see your point.

But that doesnt have anything to do with what you quoted me with. [rebadging].

It's not that im in denial, its just that I see it this way.

Altima coupe = 350z head lights, Tailights. G35 profile [sides], which makes it look like a Pontiac G6.

I agree.

Nissan should have created a different looking altima.

uhm...not really. There is more to a car than it's engine and the number of doors it has. If you think the altima coupe will drive anything like the Z you are sadly mistaken. Not saying it's a bad car, but its a totally different model, even if it does share the same engine
