So recently I got in a car accident with my old car, subaru wrx sti and I told myself that I am going to trade this car in because I tend to have bad luck with subys. I mean I was just driving on the freeway and my tire blew out...

Anyway, I owned a black 2006 WRX STI and i traded it in for a 2010 Altima coupe 3.5 6 speed.

Overall, I miss my sti but the insurance was a bit expensive for me and decided that it's time for a new car.

So i bought a black 2010 altima coupe 3.5 6 sp for 27k after $1000 rebate. So many people hate the new headlights design. At first, i didn't really like it but I saw it in person and the car was stunning. And besides, so many people have the 08-09 style so i kinda wanna try the 2010 and maybe when more aftermarket parts are available, I can make people change their mind about that :P

As of now, stock.

Here are some pics:

roughly $3,000 for one year on the STI. And I am still waiting on the the quote for the 3.5 coupe. I love STI's too, but the coupe is so much more comfortable.I wish I had a R6 or R1, but it's Kawasaki ninja

That's a Ninja 250. The only bike I know that has a huge silver side exhaust like that and a rear brake fluid reservoir behind the riders footpegs.

car looks good bro, but on a side note what's up with nissan making the new coupes sit up so high? I thought the 08-09 were high but they went and made that gap even larger is it smaller tires or wht

I have no idea if the 08-09 springs will work on the '10 or not.

Congrats on the ride and the fact that you landed a 3.5 with a stick AND the leather pkg! Those are tough to find! (At least around AL anyway). Drop that sucker! I'm working on dropping mine and getting wheels, but I'm so indecisive on wheels!

Noo!

The little "blades" that stick out of the 08-09 models is my favorite part

Congrats!

I've seen a few up here, the only upgrade I love about the 2010 is the Audio Display screen.

I love the Sport Bike!

No, its not completely straight, its raised up like a bump......one the reviews I read about it was that the new grill and light were nice but the new hood makes the car look like it was in an accident that "bumped up" the hood.....I think I concur that the 08-09 hood is a better look! But the rest of the car is quite hot
