just in case anyone wondered

I saved an article that my local newspaper printed about it. Sounds like it's gonna be quite the ride. 6spd...!!!

probably see decent sales...though I think just a 10 hp increase is pretty damn weak...

I'd have made it 275....sure, it'd be close to the 350Z, but there's still a big enough difference between the two models not to infringe on the sales.

Exactly ^^

10hp isn't anything. It looks and handles better I"m sure, but it needs a lil more juice IMO, especially to be worthy of an "se-r" badge.

They need a RWD sedan in that price range....

REMEMBER this is a SE-R version of the Altima 3.5se. If you look at the sentra/200sx SE-R and the Spec V then you will see that yes there is only a few extra HP, BUT lots of other good enhancements.

I think that the Altima SE-R will be a great car and well worth the $.

They kinda got one. A base model G35 is about the same as an Altima SE-R. Maybe just a little bit more.

And heck, give Nissan time, they just came out with like 20 new models of cars. Just wait to see what the next 5 years brings us.

I want one, but for that price I would shell out a bit more and ride the STI.

On the same planet that has an Infiniti G35, Who cares about a FWD VQ35DE car?

[HashiriyaS14]

Yeah, I guess by "that price range" I meant like standard Altima money. I'm thinking $20-25 or 26k, like what someone pays for an Altezza RS200 in Japan. Nissan needs a RWD, turbocharged 4dr in that category. G35 rules, but I don't want the Infiniti Badging, I don't want all the leather/wood/other crap, I don't want the extra weight, and it needs to be turbo.

Something along the lines of a Toyota Chaser, base Altezza RS200, ER34 Skyline Sedan, etc... A big RWD sedan that ISN'T a $35k+ luxury car, sort of like a Japanese Crown Vic or something, but not suck-tastic.

Oh, and Super Rad needs to bring back that guinea pig with the hat. That thing was pimp.

I guess adding alot more power doens't matter alot because the 3.5 SE Alty's are already pretty potent. As I say, I bet the handling has been improved, as well as the eye appeal. Its a gorgeous car to begin with, then adding more stuff can't hurt.

[UncleBen]

Looks awesome and very aggressive in the pics, but look at all the wheel gap in the front still

I'd buy one

I got my 04 G35 sedan with sport package for 27.2k brand new. No navigation system and other ammeneties SE-R has will ever substitute sheer fun of RWD.

As far as Infinti badging - 200$ gets you Nissan all around. Leather I like, but everything else I don't have, even sunroof, which adds almost 100 pounds. So in base configuration I'm almost the same weight as 350z. Stock baseline 215whp/210wtq.
