Yes, I said Coupe.

Yes, the new 2007 Nissan Altima Coupe is the poor man's G35, as long as the financially challenged don't mind moving the coupe's motivating wheels up front. Though given a shorter wheelbase and shorter overall length than 4-door Altima, the Coupe looks like a cross between its sedan sibling and rich cousin, the Infiniti G35. Ahead of the doors it's all Altima, but aft of and including the C-pillar, it's all G35. The broad and defined shoulders that flow over the rear fenders and into the trunk are just gorgeous if you ask us.

I think this looks really sharp, I'd like to take one for a test drive and see what kind of head/legroom it has.

With 270HP, six speed manual and a pretty reasonable (we hope) price tag, this should be a good competitor for the Accord Coupe.

Definately a great looking car with plenty of motivation as well.

I can see people trying to picture making this thing either all-wheel drive or rear wheel drive. and it reminds me of a bently continental gt.

actually, in the last 2 (I think, maybe 3) generations, the altima has come with the optional 3.5 in the highest model, while it was pricey, it looked better, same power, and less weight than the maxi, while I still love the maxima, a semi-sporty family car, the altima has come a long way from it's start, def a nice car for those not wanting to to give up comfort but still haul butt
