Maybe, but I've also heard that the Altima Coupe was produced as a test mule/filler car or to gauge interest to see if the market was right for the re-introduction for the Silvia-S16. Last I heard the S16 plans have been put on hold due to bad profits in the Auto Industry as a whole, so the A/C may make it to a second generation will see, but I think it will keep the Altima name. As for changes, as most here, I hope they do something with the dang grille.dangeris wrote:and maybe just in time too. Hopefully they'll break off form the name altimas and introduce it as a new vehicle lineup like the Nissan the AC35 or maybe even the AC37
The 2009 models were on sale in early September 2008 as I remember. Does anyone remember when they did a press release on them, like how long prior to them hitting the dealerships?Sith LL_Coupe wrote:You guys are going to be waiting most of this year to find out honestly. It's way too early to tell. Despite the fact that some car companies have released 2010 models, it's because they are brand new versions, not tweaks to the current ones.
The 2010 Altima Coupe will more than likely have some additional tweaks, I do hope like a lot of you guys, that they upgrade the headlights to Projectors and the Taillights to LEDs as well as change the grille and get rid of the ugly plastic chrome mustache and big honeycomb grille. I doubt the Grille will change because that is too much effort for them.
Regardless, we will see the 2010 Model sometime at end of summer, early fall (August-November).
Yeah, I saw that quite awhile back. That looks good minus the nose to me. But that looks like it's staying overseas I bet.HuyyNguyen wrote:i heard the new 2010 nissan Silvia is going to take the place of the Altima? I don't know if they have a real photo posted but it sure does like a mix within the Altima itself somewhere in it sorry if that isn't it =P i looked around and i found it like a month ago
There is no way that is not a photoshop. If you look the tails/real end is exactly the same as the sedan, and the wheels are just stretched out versions of the 16 inch convenience package wheels. Nissan would not be3 coming out with an entirely new model that is strongly based on a different model. Nissan would not release/leak photos of a new car before an announcement anyway. I haven't read anything about it in C&D, and they are normally pretty good on the details of new/futurecars.HuyyNguyen wrote:i heard the new 2010 nissan Silvia is going to take the place of the Altima?

Our car isn't in the same category as the genesis coupe or the toyotabaru coupe.chow wrote:They better do something fast cuz the Genesis coupe is going to spank the sales of the Altima, ontop of that.. Toyotas new RWD car in conjunction with Subaru will also steal that market.
The altima is pricey compared to those two.. But the worst thing is if they do end up replacing the A/C with the S16, our cars will be worth 10$.
wtf is that? its NOT an altima coupe.... the altima coupe has the chrome mustache and this one has chrome lining all the way around (like the sedan grill). but the front bumper looks different... the front bumper looks sort of like my mom's 07 Maxima... but why would they have a NEW commercial with a 370z and a old body style maxima?? i think that may be the new altima sedan.... or i could just be tripping lolMr_Coupe wrote:hey guys peep this looks like they are shooting a nissan commercial with the z roadster and a 2010 alti coupe? look at the altima's front in the first pic
