2010 Altima coupe......any info??

[marlin29311]

Not trying to be an a**... but technically it's only been out for 2 years...

Summer 2007 - Summer 2008 (for the 2008 Model)Summer 2008 - Summer 2009 (for the 2009 Model)

The sedan was out in 2006.

the photographer never said he saw the back side of the car where the badge for the model is. He took a photo of a new "Nissan Coupe" which he confirmed by seeing only 2 doors and we can see clearly on the front grille is a Nissan Burger from the photo.

no, he SAW the back and it did change a little according to him. did you even read what I quoted from him?

he asked the guys doing the shoot and they confirmed to him its the new altima COUPE.you will see the ad in 6 to 8 weeks.

[Ranga14]

I'm starting to think we need another perspective here, another angle to look at to give a more valid opinion. This one photo, even in high quality is still not the best. The more I look at it, the more I see light playing tricks on us and making it seem "unfamiliar".

Then why the hell do we have 2 s***ty pictures? Total garbage. Even if I was just driving by I would have taken like 2394082304983 pictures....at all angles.

Its all to me.

I understand your frustration, but its unfortunately true, you will see this is not BS in approximately 49 days.

[2008AltiCoupeDan]

the new coupe still looks ugly if thats the case. im sticking to my saying from before:

im glad i got mine when it was still pretty.

[LinkNuc]

Agreed, but its actullay not that bad, the lip is nice....the lamps are meh.....it'l be ok but I agree that -8-09 is better...but I HaVE NO PULL!

Hey everyone.. look what I managed to get from a Nissan dealer this weekend. A feature list for the 2010 Altima Coupe!!! This is for Canada but don't think the US should differ too much. Everything listed in bold is supposed to be a change compared to the '09 model.

I guess the big upgrades for the 2.5 S are Traction Control, 17" alloy wheels, and in premium package there is now 4.3" colour display, ipod, and USB all added to the bose sound system. The guy told me prices might increase by 2%. Do you think these new features plus the redesign are compelling enough that I should wait and get the 2010 model? or shall I take advantage of the clearance deals on the '09 model? I don't wanna wait too long and lose opportunity on the '09s. what would you guys do? I was thinking of leasing.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

[phrozen209]

wow they added a color display screen and ipod system for the 3.5! now just to see how it looks, and im sold!

the 3.5 is now called the 3.5SR! hoping for a little more aggressive styling for this model!

im glad the Tech package is just a satnav upgrade, don't need that!

[phobs]

Wow 7% for 3.5 MTs, pretty awesome!

[mcheddadi]

the new tech packages has USB input and bluetooth streaming audio! damn thats really nice! It's cool but what I really want to see the are headlights. the BOLD "hid headlights" must mean they are getting projector headlights!

I seriously hope its the same size headlights!!

the 4.3 color screen must be like the one on the new sentrahttp://www.automobilesreview.c...3.jpg

Also I noticed that now all models have AUTO on and off headlights, not just HID ones. and that VDC IS STANDARD across the range. great stuff. overall it's definitly some great stuff! also there are no sunroof less models too!

BTW, THANKS A LOT heavymetal!! YOU ROCK!!!

[heavymetal]

ya, i was also thinking the 4.3" display would look like the sentra's except the sentra has RockfordFosgate and the altima has bose so not sure.

[headhunt3r]

also there are no sunroof less models too!

I'm pretty sure this only applies to Canada, because ever since the coupe's been out here, you can't get one without the Convenience package / sunroof.

[colin_m]

so i saw the commericial for nissan having the sale on the 2009 models....the 2010 may be comming very soon!

[Hussain]

the real question is, how many 3.5se owners will rebadge to 3.5SR? lol i know at least a couple will.

[stevek3670]

all the hard drive navigations for nissan look like the 370z n maxima, would that mean that the altima's interior would have to be completely re-done to look like the infiniti's?

even if it does the 9.3 gb hard drive will be nice

nice stuff~heavymetalI went to the dealer this weekend too and they told me they have no info on the MY2010 altima coupe Since you live in Toronto, I would suggest you to wait for the MY2010 cus 2.5S will have TCS and VDC fitted on them. But this is assuming that you want to get a 2.5S

I have been debating about whether to get Accord coupe or Altima coupe cus Accord coupe has VDC and TCS. Now this is not an issue anymore~sweet!!

The more I look at it, the more Sentra sized it looks. Maybe they're making the Sentra resemble the Coupe more closely?

maybe its not a tiny car, maybe the man there is giant lol n hes making the car look so darn small

[rjdmmfl1]

assuming they do these like the other models, this generation will only last ~ 4 years... it would have been nice to offer an SE-R versiion with increased horsepower for the 3.5... but no such luck I guess (losers)

how come only 4 yrs??

I'm sure it's going to be a 2011 or 2012 model for the SE-R. 08-09 then 10-11 and in the last year they will release a SE-R version like they did with the old gen to compete with the small compact rwd cars coming in the next two years.

[rjdmmfl1]

how come only 4 yrs??

1st gen 1993 - 1997

2nd gen 1998 - 2001

3rd gen 2002 - 2006

4th gen 2007 - 2011?

you can look at their other models and check out the generations.... its pretty similar, usually 4-5 years for a generation (not set in stone, but a good guide to follow)

if they don't realize the market potential for the Altima Coupe SE-R, then they are idiots!

[rjdmmfl1]

I'm sure it's going to be a 2011 or 2012 model for the SE-R. 08-09 then 10-11 and in the last year they will release a SE-R version like they did with the old gen to compete with the small compact rwd cars coming in the next two years.

or they may just scrap it after 2011 and come out with the new and improved Silvia

[mcheddadi]

I wish, but they said that they weren't doing a silvia revival (that was suposed to compete with the genesis coupe, toyotabaru, etc..) and instead were working on a prius fighter....i'm guessing its the new nissan leaf that was announced recently.

[XXplosive990]

[RicerX]

I hate it, but I'm not sure we'll ever see the silvia. Unless the auto industry sees economic relief, that car will probably stay on the shelf. If the economy rebounds, the focus is still going to be fuel efficient vehicles, and with the Silvia going to be some form of 4 cylinder (turbo or NA), it may make it back into the mix as a fuel efficient sport coupe to compete with others that will show up.

I have a feeling the V6 Altima's days may be numbered unless some form of hybrid comes out with the way the current administration is pushing things. This is why something as awesome as the return of the Silvia has been pushed aside for an electric grocery getter.

What kills me about all that is the fact that no one is considering what it takes to make the juice to power these electric cars, but that's a totally different topic altogether.

there is one promised solution my friend.the toyotabaru.it's the genesis coupe's competitor, toyota's hope for a comeback after the great mr2, supra and Hatchiroku and subaru's chance to satisfy it's hardcore fans. a lot of hope is ridding on that car

[irondog168]

Hi i'm new here.I don't have an altima coupe yet buy i'm waitting.waitting for the price drop for 09 when the 2010 comes out.how much the 09 fully loaded 2.5s will drope? msrp was $30,380and when is the date that 2010 will release?I have been search all the dealers around L.Athere are at lease 10 car thats 2.5s coupe fully loaded laying around no one buy...so i'm waitting for a good deal on 09 or if the 2010 looks really good like projector light...navigation music box and all that, i might just get new 2010 coupe.if anyone can tell me how much the 09 will drop i would be really thankfull.

[heavymetal]

I really doubt the 2.5s will have projector lights.. probably just 3.5. But who knows - packages will be different in the USA and so may not be quite like the Canadian ones I posted above.

Over here the nav package is a rip off.. usually about $3000 CAD or so -- can't really justify when you can get a 3rd party pioneer or something for much cheaper. And 9.3gb music server is not that big... rather just get the premium package on your 2.5s with usb and then get a 16gb usb key for $35.

In terms of waiting for '09 price to drop.. i suspect it's near its lowest point already.
