I wonder how come the pricing is so high. It seems that many parts on the SE-R are shared with other models like the G35, 350Z, Maxima, etc... (although I'm not totally sure how many parts are actually shared). I don't see how Nissan can justify the premium on this when the actual performance bump isn't going to be that significant. And why people would take this over a G35 that can be had for a few thousand more is way beyond me.

For a sticker of $28,000 you get an Accord Coupe 6-speed with Navi...much nicer and interior, better creature features (like dual climate control), and the navi is awesome.
It doesn't even have an LSD...I really don't understand why it's so esspensive. I mean it's real cool and all, but like the rest of the Altima lineup the MSRP seems a grand or two too high.
I was always hoping for a tuned and/or FI 4 banger for the Altima SE-R...I think that'd be really cool h: Damn Americanized car companies.
This thing looks real nice in person, but it's difficult to tell the difference between it and a regular Altima if you don't know what it is. That's what surprised me when I saw it an NYIAS.

Is it just me or does the shifter look really stupid with that chrome thingie below the knob? I'd want to take a good 3 inches or so out of the entire assembly.

I am shopping for the altima se-r, but if i dont get the price i want it wont be happening, and its said that their sales are slumping.
They now offer a Nismo short shifter kit and full coilover kit through the dealership, i think the coilover system is 960 not including labor and the shifter kit is like 400 also not including install.
I would like to get this car and do those mods but i dont know.
Some guy dropped an intake on this car that had an MAFci optimizer on it and he got 24hp at the wheels. That shit is no joke, i dont know how but im still trying to figure that out.

Looks good. The seats are a tad gaudy..
But for 30K, I would expect much more power (285+) and a helical LSD.
