We finally got some 08 Altima coupes in today!

[Zcarnut]

They look pretty cool in person.I see some Z car,G35/37 coupe,and a little Pontiac G6 coupe towards the rear if you squint.
It is shorter than a regular Altima and the trunk suffers the most from this, but I think it will sell OK.
Got another batch of 08' Titans too including a crew cab long bed...Uhhh...Uhh..Its LONG!
Looks weird, but I think the domestics setup that way do too.
You probably need 8 lanes of traffic to make a proper 3 point turn.

pics?

[ChrisV]

Threes a couple at the Nissan dealership next to work. They do look pretty good. There's a  blue one with custom wheels on it that looks great, actually.

None of the dealerships around me have any. Can anyone get real world pics?

[CJ]

I have a real world picture!  I only saw the back half, but it was ugly as sin.

[TheIntrepid]

Post it, dude.

For a second, I thought you were referring to the picture in your sig.

[Zcarnut]

I didnt bring my camera to work today and lack the phone tools to upload a pic from my phone.
From the 3/4 rear,you wont think its a Altima IMO.
We havent got one in yet with a spoiler.I think it would make the rear look even better.

We have a red one in also but I didn't get to look at it close up. From a distance it looked good but can't say what I think until I do a walk around.

[Zcarnut]

One of ours red too and the other is silver.

Not to put a damper on the thread, but I don't understand the point of midsized sedans made into coupes.

That being said, I loved the Buick Riviera (95-99).

I dunno, some people like coupes. For me, it's coupe > sedan most of the time.

That's because you're a sheep.

[Raza]

Because they're practically free to make (very little R&D, plus materials), and they can catch idiots who think having a coupe makes them sporty, youthful, or cool by default. 


That said, I too like the Riviera.  Especially the 1971.

[Onslaught]

Because people like them and they look better.  I can't tell you how many people bitch to me that you can't get a 3 or 6 in a two door. Like I can do anything about it anyway.

There is no point. But consumers love them, especially the elusive young buyers.

[ChrisV]

I like coupes over sedans, too. Most of the time I don't need rear doors, but it's still nice to have a rear seat. And most of the coolest, best loved classic cars have been coupes, from the '32 Ford 3 window, to the '49-51 mercury, to the classic Mustang and Camaro. And lets not forget how many 4 door Ferrari and Porsche models there have been.

[ChrisV]

And most of the time there's no point in 4 doors for the average driver. hell, I only use the rear of the BMW on occasion. I'd LOVE there to have been a coupe version...

[ifcar]

There's no disadvantage to having rear doors that you don't usually use, but there is a disadvantage to not having those doors when you do need to get to the back seat.

[FordSVT]

There's a market for 2+2, two door coupes that the mainstream automakers, for the most part, aren't willing to put the money into an original platform for. Some people don't want a rwd sports car, they're just looking for a comfortable, economical car, and a more stylish alternative to a four-door sedan.

[JYODER240]

There's no disadvantage to having rear doors that you don't usually use, but there is a disadvantage to not having those doors when you do need to get to the back seat.

The disadvantage is that the majority of the time a 2-door looks better than a 4-door.

Some may think so.

[Sir_CARzy]

yea, now being serious, i'd almost always buy a coupe over a saloon - they just tend to look more graceful and just.....better.

I've owned many, many coupes over the last 28 years. Including daily drivers. Never been a problem.

Intermediate and full size coupes aren't so hard to get into those few times it's "necessary." Hey, I've bought my share of four door cars, too, from the BMW to my SVT Contour, but there were always reasons that those cars were chosen that had nothing to do with them having 4 doors. But given the choice, I'd take the coupe version every time.

And again, if you're single, then 2 doors are all that you need 99% of the time, And if youre married, then 2 cars are usually a necessity anyhow, so one of them can be the easy access model.

[ifcar]

But there's no automatic disadvantage to having a practicality that you don't use. There is a disadvantage to not having a practicality that you use 1% of the time.

[The Pirate]

Call me old and grumpy beyond my years, but I generally prefer 4 doors, especially in a car like the Altima or Accord, where there isn't much difference mechanically.  If the coupe had a better suspension, or a higher hp engine, I'd be more likely to consider.  Otherwise, 4 door for me.  It's just much easier to load/unload all my gear.

QFT. Unless it's a G35 coupe (not the G37)... it's so sexy.
