So IN MY OPINION, I think they need to give the head lights a much more aggressive look on the altima coupe. It kinda kills the sportsy look of it. So IMO they need to put headlights on it like the ones on the 370Z, or just make them more pointed like the tail lights are, dont you agree some what?

Like this is sick:

....Which is why I see a lot of people doing this, which I like it makes it look better, but it would be better if they just change them:

I thought the 370z/maxima/rogue ect headlights are ugly as well. Same with the tail lights. It just looks too odd for a nissan. Otherwise, I couldnt complain about their body styling.

Oh really? Well either way, they just need improving you know. Even if its not the 370Z style, they need work... not to get off topic with all the other cars with cool headlights, but something like this would be great, this is the SCION FR-s:

A front fenders / lower fascia redesign would help

Rear deck: Place license plate lower in the bumper, give the trunk a built in lip/spoiler, and make it a true fastback.

08-09 headlights are subtle and classy

10+ are bulbous

Eyelids are tacky and nasty

I really like my headlights a lot! Black shrouds and projector lenses look good. The headlight bulge is subtle and no big deal to me! I think that the coupe should come with lower suspension and a more aggressive front end.

If they made this car a rear wheel drive and move the front wheel well up underneath the headlight i would be happy
