i wonder why does alot of cars resemble the scion tc?! im serious, makes me dislike the tc and every other car like it, even more. im tired of this! i need me a HONNNDA. hah

 

Sadly that is the what only a small niche of consumers think. The fact is the brand and looks of a car is what sells.In this case the roles are reversed, the Nissan looks like it expensive cousin the G35c so with a little rebadging, it will be what they want at a more affordable price.

 

It does look like a G, but it's not a bad-looking car.

 

Are you saying the G is a bad looking car??? lol

 

See any thing weird and eerie?

 

it has "rental car" written all over it.

 

wow... lots of hate on this car... i think its a great idea... nissan could use a full size coupe in there line up... the only coupe they've had in a long time is the Z.... none since the 240 and 200 sx's.....

 

yeah, but the haters aren't the ones trying to make a case to build a car that turns a profit. The 100,000+ Altimas a year they sell are what gives Nissan the ability to build a Skyline or a G or Z at a price that is affordable. Our Gs and Zs would be $80K cars if not for the lowly Altima and its other more affordable brethren. Y'all ought to be cheering for this car. It's designed to compete with the Solara and Accord Coupe, and it looks better than either of them - meaning it will sell like hotcakes. Kudos to Nissan for building a serious competitor to those two vehicles.

 

I think this is a bad move by Nissan/Infiniti because it will make the G35 coupe looks like a rebadge Altima coupe. They are making the same mistake they did before (rebadge nissan to sell as infiniti)

Instead, I think they should have put a smaller engine like a 2.5 V6 which has about 200 hp into the G35 coupe and lower the price. This will attract way more gas conscious buyers or buyers with smaller budget and this will help sell more G35 while maintain it's reputation.

just my 2 cents

 

 

they're just going back to the well. the z and g were such a big success, they're trying to milk every penny out of it. pretty soon, all their cars will look like some kind of z/g baztard child.

 

I think it looks like a cross between the Z and G35 . It has a front end that look simular to the Z , a roof line that is G35 for sure

 

I didn't check the stats, but I think the sad thing is that it will probably weigh less than a 350z

 

well being as the new altima coupe is a competitor to the accord coupe which puts out around 245hp then what sense would it make to put out a car that is a full 45hp less to compete against it? maybe if nissan was going after the civic si, rsx type s, or the gti then yeah 200hp altima coupe would be great but they already have the new sentra for that DUH!

nissan made this car because altima is the highest selling nissan and the g35 is the highest selling infiniti so they just merged the ideas together to see what happens. in no way shape or form is the altima coupe in the same sentence as the Z or G. even if they have the same engine there is a little thing engineers do for each engine called tuning. the Z engine is tuned for performance but the altima coupe isn't thats y the new Z engine gets out around 315hp n almost 270tq but the same engine in the altima coupe gets out about 270hp. and there is more to a car then just the engine.

you can compare it to driving a bmw 325 n then driving an M3. there's no comparison. or better yet the new 335i and the upcoming M3 they are close when u look at the numbers but they are completely different cars for different purposes n different drivers. for starters the new M3 will be the only bmw that doesn't have it's suspention tuned for run-flats which makes a big difference. it comes with good old performance tires, new suspention, and a beefy nicely tuned performance V-8 pushin out 400hp+ sick looking car. i plan on it being my future car but i wanna get my Z this summer 1st.

Hope i shed some light on the situation. just my 5 cents lol

 

what site is going to be built for the altima tuners in this my350z/g35driver series? MyAltimaDriver?

 

read it on some magazine, this car will have 2.5 / 3.5 engines, not sure about hp.

 

wow it really does look like a G........ mannn that really pisses me off... z's and g's have such a unique look and now ppl are going to mistake a g or z for an altima couple.... i mean its a nice car and everything but still..

 

3.5L's gonna have 277 HP.. forgot what the 2.5L's gonna have.

 

2.5 is 170 or 175. I think the car looks great. Yeah it may closely resemble the other cars but those are what is selling so why not hop into the game. I think it has many features of the Z and G and that they did a dang good job coming up with it. They only thing is I think that it doesn't resemble the Altima at all so it really isn't an Altima. It is kind of like calling the Maxima the 4 door Z.

I think a 2008 Altima SE-R would be hot!

 

Thanks nissan for making all your vehicles look the same. Thanks for giving the styling cues that made the z/g unique and putting it on the Murano. Thanks for taking our driver console layout and putting it in the Maxima. Thanks for making an Altima with the Z/G roofline so that the non-car geeks can look at the Z and see Just Another Nissan. Thanks for killing what made our car's look unique.
