Wow, that is beautiful. Just 2 things.
1) Why does the tranny appear to be a 4 speed? I see D, D3, 2, 1 but no D5 or D4. Are they 4 speeds on 4 bangers?
2) I'm having trouble understanding the upper grill on the coupeand the lower grill on the sedan. The lower on the sedan is bland and uninspiring, and the upper screams Chrysler on the coupe...I love big air inlets in the nose if you're gonna have one at all, like the 6th gen Accord.
I'm wondering why anyone would buy an Altima at this point.
BTW, the wheels on the coupe are freaking beautiful. Next spring I'll see if this thing with the 6 speed is worthy of my attention or if I should jump up to the G35 Coupe, because I am really itchy for a new car. My RSX is just too small for me. I'm thinking of a 2 year lease, actually...I am about around the value of my car with what I owe, so I'd be fine if I did want to sell it.
That car is beautiful, especially the interior...Nissan just took it up the ass.

And yeah, sucks to be Nissan. I think they put enough HP in the thing out of nowhere to where Honda just had to do something about it.

I had no doubt that Honda was not going to let Nissan steal its pie. If Honda knows how to do anything it's building engines. Imagine what you can do with that 2.4 though! Slap a I/H/E, tweak the ECU and you've got a 240 hp monster just waiting to be uncorked!

the coupe can look good with some springs, wheels, and a nice dark color...the sedan on the otherhand needs more help just bolt ons. those tailights are aweful, and i already had a nightmare about what APC is gonna do with altezzas for them. *shivers*

the altima definitely doesn't suck...it's a good car...nissan had the guts to raise the performance bar to give us exciting family sedans...it's only drawback is its quality which isn't up to par in this segment...however nissan can resolve this problem

Adrock, those pictures are all from Honda. More pics can be found at hondanews.com but they are small unless you have press credentials. Thanks for posting those adrock, I was about to do the same.
Joel, you have to admit that the only thing Nissan had going for it was edgy design and big power. I've driven the Alty quite a lot, so I know...the quality sucks. The interior sucks. This new Accord is like a Camry Altima fusion, only alot better.
Also - The gas door is quite far back and kind of breaks up the design
And why no chrome trim around the windows in the coupe??
