Hey all, I was on my way to one of my many places of emplyment tonight, and I saw and odd sight as I passed the Nissan Dealership... It was a white 4th gen Altima Sedan, with a Navy Blue Canvas/Rag top... I tried to find pics of them online, but none came up (maybe didnt search right??) but anyone else see these?? Or know of any articles on them? I personally didnt like the looks of it, it made it look kinda like an old Buick or Caddi... not a fan of that design ... Not to mention the dealership put 20" chrome wheels on it... made it even uglyer... Not the biggest fan of chrome rims, but this combination was just plain bad... Anyway, if anyone can chime in on whether or not this is going to be an actual model/option for the Altima...

If this it what your talking about, its not a model its just a modification.

What's the point? Does it make it a convertible? I bet I could tear that thing out like the lining on one of those old jeep wranglers.

I've heard they do this to some cars that have hail damage. The top covers the hail damage and is much less expensive than a repair of the roof. That's what I heard anyways.

If you guys remember back to the early/mid nineties, ragtops were the in thing. Well, at least that's what those who did it thought. I thought it was ugly then, and I think it looks even uglier now
