Altima Coupe

March 19, 2008  

The 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe was added this year, alongside the bestselling Altima Sedan. Don’t be fooled into thinking that Nissan just took off two doors and called it a coupe – because nothing could be further from the truth. The 2 door sedan may be good enough for the competition, but not for Nissan. On the Altima coupe, all the sheet metal is unique to the coupe, except for the hood. The Coupe has it’s own look, feel, and style. Some have even gone so far as to call it the “poor man’s G35″. As strange as that sounds, I’d take that as a complement.
