these new style of lights look good to the people that buy the cars...example: my dad, my uncle, my mom, my dads friend..etcc... would all say that looks good.

Its only the boy-racer people like us that even know the history and civic-ricey part of those lights..

It's already here? Finally the first car of Nissan's revival plan is here, actually it might be the second one huh, new Q45 is the first one? I like this car, it looks way better than the current one.

it's not a clear view, but the front seems too bland to have those taillights.

Go to Nissan's website. The front of this car looks identical to the new Lexus convertable. (SC430 I think?)

Shawn,

I'm still playing around with dust collectors, but not too much anymore 'cuz we only have 2 left to do and we are waiting for some bags and cages to be shift.

they're only dust collectors, but i went through hell with all 40 of them along with 10,000 bags and cages that were not labeled, mislabeled, and packaged wrong!

I'm going to be going to Arizona after I'm done here, and I'm taking my car this time!

Damn. I thought the Altima was going to have the old Maxima engine but it turns out that it will have the 3.5L engine as well!! Here we are thinking our 3.5L CL upgrade is neat when a friggin Altima has the same sized engine. What is going to happen to the Maxima? They are going to really have to make it much more upscale and expensive to keep a niche for it in their line-up.

Also, why not lose the Altima name? I think we all have a mental image of what an Altima is and a car with a 240hp 3.5L engine it is not. What the hell is the gas mileage going to be on this thing?

Yup, that's the new 2002 Altima... I believe it's around the size of the current Maxima. From what I've been reading, the Maxima is due for a re-design for the 2003 model year and will be larger (and more HP) then it's current form (and more expensive) in an attempt to have it compete with the TL-S, BMW, etc. class.....

Yeah, that car's ugly. The rear is probably even worse than the current Maxima's.

That's the base engine. 2.5L inline-4 (180-bhp/180 lb.-ft.)

3.5L V-6 (240-bhp/246 lb.-ft.) isn't that much faster than the CL-S...read on a website that it does 0-60 in 6.3

At least it looks better than the last Altima. I didn't mind the first generation's style when they came out, but that redesign they had a few years ago sucked. This looks ten times better.

i actually hope nissan sells sells sells considering i own nissan stock.

i think it's a pretty decent car, minus the taillights. but it's only the top SE model that's faster than ours to 60, and that's probably the manual, which requires shifting.

actually, i bought nissan stock awhile back at around $9 and it's been up ever since.

this was right before they reported that they made money for the first time in like 9 years or something.
