Yeah, But I'd rather get a 335i and have it tuned to get 1000+HP easily and woop on a Bugatti Veyron in a drag race . Just phuckin with you bruh .

thank god im gettin rid of my AC in june....i wont have an outdated coupe n ill have a sexy a** cls or 335
and then, in a nother year you'll have an outdated cls or 335... everything becomes outdated in a few years, especially when it comes to cars as most cars change their look a bit every few years... and changing vehicles just because one doesn't want to be outdated is just retarded and a continuous waste of money

*note* I'm not saying that's why ur upgrading, I'm just saying that anyone here here thinking about trading in their 08 or 09 A/C just to get the latest A/C is retarded

i think the new design would look a lot better if they gave the coupe a sport tuned suspension..lower to the ground....and i think it would look better if they made the new coupe a lil longer and sleeker.the front looks a little too "fat" and round for our short bodied coupe.shoulda made it if not as long as the g37...they should have made it close to it. that would have made the front look a little better
1st, how is your opinion/criticism any different than what everyone else is saying? Does that make your post "funny" as well

2nd, all of your suggestions are well, a bit strange...the is a family coupe, so they will NOT lower the front end, they will keep the same setup as the sedan

*they claim they already have a "sport tuned suspension" on the coupe

*a little longer???? they purposefully made the coupe shorter than the sedan to seperate it from the rest of the coupes that are mere sedans with two doors chopped off...

I'm talking about sedan and coupe fenders being different...

earlier, when talking about converting a 09 to a 2010, I stated the fenders may have been different in the 2010's, but I couldn't tell from the pics

"Thank you for your inquiry!We need to take a look at the 2010 models before we can determine what we plan on manufacturing.Not sure if we will have the exact fascia available"

Eh... Front end is too fluidic for my tastes.

I like what they did with the mustache in the grille, though. That's about it.

I like the new radio (and the backup camera that goes with it) and I like the lower portion of the front bumper being three sections instead of one. I also like the dark grey steering wheel switches, although that isn't hard to just take off and paint. However the headlights just look awful, they aren't smooth with the car, and the huge blinker over the lens is not cool. The grill, is meh. I don't hate it, but I'm much happier with my mustache overlays. The body colored rear valance looks way out of place too. It looks like they forgot to mask it off when it was being painted.

I want to see the red leather, but other wise i'm throughly happy with my 08'

Anyone else notice it doesn't have splash guards? I know they are an 'option' but i've never seen one on a lot that didn't have them already installed.

from your love of the chevy cobalt, to this, its clear that you and I have NEVER agreed on anything regarding cars...

thr front bumper looks like it has an open fish mouth smiling, (or one of the cars from the movie "CARS" talking) showing the fugly silver radiator behind it. That opening is too tall, and is an eyesore...

the whole front profile (not angled front, but dead center front) just looks WORSE to me.... they did not move this thing in a forward direction IMO... let's just agree to disagree on this..

and to take things one step further, if I had seen this in the show room when I originally saw the 08 coupe back in 07, I do not think I would have been as eager to grab this... IMO, the A/C had a LOT of visual differences from the G35... this looks like it trying to mimic the G37 and is doin a poor job at it....

I'm just disappointed
BIGGEST prob is this is goin to PHUCK us over big time like what we have now on aftermarket......dont expect anything more bc the front is now totally diff soooo yea PHUCK nissan im pissed the headlights look like s*** y did they change the shape WTF now we cant get them i got all excited then saw the pics

Does anyone know the difference between super black and crimson black? (possibly provide pics)... I googled and can't really find anything :O

Also I think the 2010 looks more aggressive than the 2009...I like it.

I personally think this spoiler for the 09 looks better than the factory spoiler they are providing for the 2010

It's not so much the Headlights but the Bumper itself.

Hopefully, Stillen can save it.

thats not the 09 spoiler...thats just a universal spoiler ...

also crimson black is the same color avaible on the 2010 maxima and the 2010 370z (replacing yellow) and the 370z roadster.

its quite posh

did anyone look at the spec sheet that was posted? they took away almost all the options of the 2.5 6MT. They made it a complete base model. No option for Bose, Fog lights, auto on/off headlights, nothing! You cant even get leather seats!

The headlights look bad IMO, it looks like they tried to cram more than they could fit into the housing and it just looks over crowded and i dont like how they buldge out on top now. i like the 08-09's better cause it was smooth and sleek. Now it looks c***-eyed and bug-eyed at the same time.

And i dont like how the new hood is completely flush with the grill, i like how the older models had that little bit of overhang on either end. it kinda added more to it IMO.

the heated sideview mirrors w/turn signals are optional now on the 2.5 CVT along with a lot of other features that were only on the 3.5 the past two years. but there is absolutely no love for the 2.5 6MT's

Overall, im not impressed. I think nissan really dropped the ball on this one.

oooh! red.. i think im in love.. lol ok 1st look, i like it. but it still isnt doin it for me. I mean i like it and all, but i do think its goofy looking, along with the rest of you who thought so. And so that image of the spy shot earlier, WAS THE COUPE! haha! i always said they used this car and made it poorly.. not that its falling apart, but they just rushed the creation of the coupe, adn now this is the 'real deal' .. cause why they adding all this extra sh--.. cmon now. my fav color is blue, but the red looked illy on the coupe..

How is it goofy looking? I don't understand why there are so many people crying about the 2010...and are also trying so hard to convince themselves that their 08 or 09 so much better than the 2010. Also why do people assume that things are rushed? Maybe this is how they wanted it? They had all year to do what they wanted...even with the whole auto industry going to garbage. And then you have your users who are all 'phuck phuck phuck nissan'...if you don't like it just don't buy it ^^

dude, this is a car forum... its what we do here... we discuss cars... some like it, some don't... why are your panties in a bunch... you just got on this forum and ur bitc*in like a little school girls about our comments on this car... get over it buddy... if you get the car, and you like it, who cares what other folks think... you like it... but some folks here do not... we've pointed out what we like about the 2010, and we've pointed out what we don't like about it... if you don't like what your reading, then go to another thread ... and the phuck nissan comments were towards nissan for changing the bumper and headlights to a point where the older models couldn't use them... they didn't do it for the g35 but chose to for the A/C... also, i don';t think they did it for the 2010 sedan.. so yeah, folks that have been waiting for factory projectors for two years now are pretty pissed at nissan... so , in case you didn't here me the first time... PHUCK NISSAN

too soon to tell but their MAY be hope after all... i started thinking about the lights and i looked and found this on how to bake the 08-09 lights

http://www.nicoclub.com/articles.php?id=335705

do you notice how the back part of the light is missing in all the pics (the part where the light and mirror stuff is)? MAYBE if you bake the 2010 headlights you can swap the projector and high beam with the 08-09 low and high beam area?

most likely this wont work but it would be interesting to have a spare 08-09 head light and a 2010 headlight to open up and mess with.

Clam all that mess down sir. This is the reveal thread, and the people have a right to say what they do and do not like. I know the car doesnt look "mean" in the looks... so maybe thats a reason it looks "goofy".. i wont buy it! lol cause i got a 08! so why buy '10? i know right? but i can say if i like it or not.. i just dont see why you seem upset about MY opinion, along with others, on a car! its one thing to have a healthy discussion, but another to be like "ur f--kn stupid, it aint goofy lookin ya dumb blah balh" lol your post just seem neg. so if im wrong, please fix that.. thank-ya and come agian. Back on topic, im torn between the look.. its funny looking, but i dont hate it, but i guess since its new, lol i still need to get used to it. WAS THERE ANY changes to the rear.. it looks like it. the front kinda fits the lines the rear was trying to do.
