Purchased my 2008 A/C in July of 2007 as a lease. I wanted to get out of my lease and just simply own the car. Went on down to my dealership to see what can be done and they got me into this 2010 3.5 SR 6MT for pretty much the same price I've been paying monthly. My first intentions were to purchase a Z but I decided against that for now.

I'm happy to get away from the black and into a color that will make me not stress out as much!

After owning the first generation Altima Coupe, the 2010 model is definitely improved in many aspects.

- The improvements with the gearbox are like night and day. Shorter throws and tighter gearing. - The new silver stitching on the black leather is a nice touch, also the perforated sections in the leather. - I like the change in black trim around the steering wheel and also the shift knob as opposed to the previous years in silver.- The new stereo is very nice. The color screen and the rear backup camera are a nice addition.- The larger size wheel and tire fit the coupe much better- The front end refresh with the new hood, bumper, grille, and headlights makes the A/C look more refined

I'm quite happy to own another Coupe. I should be keeping this one for a while!

Here are a few shots with my Blackberry. Will be taking some better pictures in the future. No complaints on stock photos! Insta-ban!!

Arthur, see if your dealer will buy out your lease. They bought mine out 7 months early!

I don't have plans to modify this one too much (yet). If I do, I won't be using the Eibachs anyway. I'll probably go with something adjustable.

Or you can just add one aftermarket. I like putting my camera on when I'm driving forward.

Congrats on your new '10 3.5SE.

But...

As much as I love my 3.5SE, like my '02 Acura RSX Premium I couldn't see myself again in an Acura, which is why I bought Nissan. There's just way too many to choose from, right now if I was to sell it my next car will be the Audi A5.

My sister's '08 2.5S Coupe was written off last month and wanted something different. She's waiting for her new 2010 Acura TSX Base.

Congrats man! Looks good and good choice of color!

I'm definitely going with the 370z or 135i for my next car

That front end was hideous at first, but it's starting to grow on me....feel so jipped because they have projectors now! Definitely love the new system inside and the standard tcs/vdc.

the new TSX is what the TL was a few years ago... they definitely stepped their game up to compete with the Lexus IS 350 and BMW 3 series... i like that car!!!
