Wow, didn't see that one coming at all. It actually looks quite good. Will be interesting to see these on the roads. It is certainly more attractive, and sporty, than the Solara.

Car hasn't been released yet, how could it be sold in Japan? And no, its not the Japanese Skyline (G35 coupe).

Except you probably can get a well equiped 2.5 model for around $20k.

Good thought, but this is the Nissan version of the G35. 
That car clearly has the new Altima front end.

 I've always loved sporty mid-sized coupes...hopefully this can give that market a shot in the arm! It's been kinda dead since the late 90's.

I agree. Though I wish they would have shortened the wheelbase (significantly?). I also think the success of the Accord coupe should have convinced others to join. Mazda really missed out not offering a Mazda6 coupe.

if the new altima sedan is that improved, + now they're adding a coupe, it seems like there's even less of a reason to have a maxima any more

I suppose it shouldn't be a surprise. The best-selling competition in the Altima's segment (Camry/Accord/Impala) all have coupe versions as well (Solara/Accord/Monte Carlo). But still, don't the coupe versions of its competitors sell very poorly compared to the sedans? Mike

I read the thread about a month back when it was posted. The girl is an idiot and doesn't know what a case study suppose to conduct. I read through the whole mustang thread on that one. I rather keep the rest of the comments to myself.

That looks like the current(old) G35 body.The new G35 coupe(concept) looks better than that.

What new G35 Coupe concept? Are you referring to the one released months ago, or are there newer pics?

Nissan really needs to figure out another coupe profile -- I know family resemblance is good, but this is really close to the Skyline/G35 and considering the Skyline and Altima aren't sold in any of the same markets under the same badge, I think that reflects poorly upon Nissan overall.
