poor man's g35?; nissan Altima coupe 07

[Trojan]

[Trojan]

just seen a commercial for this ride and was blown away. i thought it was the new g35 or something. the base model is only about 170 hp, v4 with a msrp of about 20 g's. the v6 is 3.5 engine, 270 hp.

here's a link from edmunds:

what do you guys think?

the solara and accord coupe just got some pretty mean competition.

its not too bad, but the rear end looks like it got into a fender bender with a brick wall at 20mph

Why is this in the Camry forum?

This car should not compete with the G35. The G35 coupe is more performance oriented, hence the RWD. This is probably going to be biased more towards comfort, like Altima, than sport. It would mainly compete against Accord and Solara coupes.

The 07 Atlima's interior sucks - it looks and feels cheap.

Plus, its gonna be $30K with the V6 and nicely equiped - not really a bargain.

I think your on crack if you think they're gonna put a V4 in the Altima.

of course it's gonna compete against the coupe and accord. however, nissan was very smart in borrowing some of g35's chassis design to boost its appeal. you know, toyota has been doing this for years with its camry vs. its lexus es counterparts..

I think you're still high. Ghosn would never let it happen considering what he's been doing with Nissan.

he should be fired then: 175 hp, 2.4 L, 4cylinder

I don't see any V4. Would be much easier, less expensive, and more profitable to use the Altima engine than to develop some weird ass non-conventional V4 engine for this coupe.

Anyhow, I guess you missed my point and I thought your would have figured out your blunder by now. But ignorance is bliss, so I guess I'll leave you alone.

i guess its an alternative for the 350Z

It's a 4 cylinder engine in a V configuration that hasn't been used in cars since the mid 70s. Duh!

Rear Styling Sucks!
