Expect major changes.It'll grow two doors, and the back will look much different. Nissan offers NO 2 door models aside from the Z right now, so it's possible we'll see a coupe, but it doesn't really fit with Nissan's current "adgenda" so don't be disappointed if there's no coupe offered--at least at first.The raise-up spoiler will disappear, the exhaust tip will likely change, and it'll grow a bumper. I expect we'll see the license plate move to the bumper.
I hope they change the mirrors, because they're nasty. Signals on mirrors belong on pickups, not cars. Looks like crap.
I'd expect a "Skyview Roof" to be standard.
As for engines, expect an MR20--possibly with the new "XTRONIC" CVT and a QR25. We know the Maxima 6 m/t bolts right up to the QR, so that may make it into the performance models (SE-R, assuming it is still a sentra package, and not Altima-only now).I wouldn't get your hopes up for a turbo model, but a turbo QR would be utterly insane. A QR25DET powered Sentra SE-R Coupe could destroy the Civic Si (sales-wise).
I like it quite a bit. That coupe reminds me of the Maxima up front, and the G35 in the back. A four door version would likely have a more prominent trunk deck (not by much though) and different rear fascia.
