If the Maxima sedan is outlawed, only outlaws will...
...actually, they will be able to buy a new Altima sedan and never know the difference.
Thinking of it that way, it reminds me the time during the Z-car hiatus from '96 to '02 when you could buy Nissan authorized S30 restorations at selected US dealers.
Nissan, keeping our streets free of newly minted outlaws for years!
@PowerTryp forever Minardi: Yeah, I think the wheelbase on the coupe is about seven inches shorter than the sedan; looks like a totally different car. And I totally thought it was a rebadged G37, though the G37 is actually based on the 350Z. FWD but still a good looking coupe.
I know I say this every time I go to Williams-Sonoma, but damn, that is a nice looking appliance. Nissan must be poaching industrial designers from Cuisinart.
Note to Nissan's PR:
Step into my office, cause you're effin fired!
Look at the inconsistent body panel gap...this is a press photo?
No doubt, Nissan is paying you millions per year to an agency populated with extensive education and no common sense. Nissan: if you want to sell cars, stop marketing to lower income households, hire another agency and get more "european" in your campaigns. You're managing to bring the value of your brand down with a variety of initiatives over the past decade, not the least of which is a dedication to producing ugly cars. The Sentra is a styling abomination, but the new Maxima is much better, thankfully. Fire the Sentra design team and give the Maxima design team the keys to the building. Free advice. Don't thank me.
what's with that huge gap at the hood? Why would you make that your press release image. "New Altima, now with the looks of a bad bodykit on a 90s era Civic."
@Pessimippopotamus: It used to be that the 3.5 Altima was a cheaper Maxima with better rear-seat legroom. Now it's been shortened drastically and given a serious case of the uglies. Especially the coupe...horrid.

They don't even know what their own car makes? Or is electricity a big mystery to them? Like for James May.

But the question is, will it be any better?
The old Altima has the distinction of being the only car to actually make me bang my head against the backseat ceiling going over a bump.

I expect to see that "employee eyes only" video up on YouTube within the hour.
