Default 2008 Altima coupe

Edmunds captured some spy shots of the upcoming Altima coupe. I'm glad Nissan chose to make it look just like a G35c! What a stunner.

Looks great! The only problem it is FWD.....Hm, but then again if one wants RWD there always is G35C....

Good competition for Honda and Toyota...

Looks a bit like the mid 90s 300ZX.
And that ain't bad.

Yeah Nissan needs to keep the price low enough to not have this car competing with the G35c or RX-8.

As for FWD coupes, its sure more exciting than an Accord or Solara.

It looks good. Too bad the Maxima is behind the curve. It would seem the flagship vehicle would get the makeover first. The bread winner won this time around.

Maybe it's just the photo, but the 2008 Altima Coupe just doesn't do it for me.

I have to say my 2002 Alti is still da bomb. It never has given me one lick of trouble. Don't need to worry about Nissan Service complaints. It never goes there. Probably the most trouble free car I have owned ever. Not even a squeak or rattle. Yes, the newbie looks a lot like the G-35.

Just clicked on comparisons and seen Altima coupe on the first page. Didn't pay attention to the age of the thread.
