Default Altima Coupe mistaken?

Wasn't going to say anything but in the few weeks i've owned the Altima Coupe, 10 people have said comments along the lines of "Nice Z", "Is that your Z?". Now being a Z owner I find it in no way similar to it but just wondering if anyone else finds this odd?

I think they're cool. It's like a retarded G35/350Z Baby (hence the FWD)
Kinda expensive though

Lol nope I haven't had anyone mistake the Z for the Altima, I mean crap they are parked right next to one another in my lot

I guess it is kinda "Z"ish, same motor, 270hp/260tq, whats not to love!

I can understand the confusion. The first time I saw the couple I didn’t know what the hell it was.

My girl kept buggin me for a Z so she settled for the white 08 3.5 se coupe Altima! I drove it and was like DAMN girly this is tooo much for you to handle.

I kinda agree its got a lil to much for what it needs, but have you guys seen the new Maxima HOLLY GEEBUS! 290hp!!!

One of the partners in my Frederick office mistook my sisters coupe for a Z. Asked if it was a newer version than the one I had. *shakes head* Still a nice looking ride though it does remind me of the G6 a little.

On a related note, I found out that the state of Virginia thinks I own a 2003 Altima. Instead of feeling insulted, considering that this misconception lowers my car tax burden, I'm in no hurry to correct the mistake...
