So i was driving my car at night few weeks ago, when my car was becoming a week old since i've owned it.AND BAM, i crashed on the unprotected left turn. some how i didn't see the car from the other side... yeah ridiculous -_-so the insurance company said it was a total loss and im in the process of getting my money back and im definitely ganna purchase another altima coupe :D except i want to get winter frost this time. The Only thing is that, ppl said it looks feminine but hey white looks sexy to me. should i get winter frost or still go with precision grey?

sorry to hear that i also crashed mine the whole driver side is gone. it took $9,000 and 2 months in the body shop. BUT GREY ALL THE WAY!!! it looks amazing and you don't have to wash your car all the time because you can't see the dirt to well. on white you will see every little spot. (no i will not upload pic's of my crash i am still way to ashamed to have crashed my baby).

I never heard that white is a "girls" color. Maybe pink or purple, but whatever. Go with whatever you like. I'm so tired of certain cars being called "girly" cars. Just get what you want & drive it like you stole it.

Yeah, you want to see a feminine car? Pontiac Sunfire. I think it's Consumer Reports that shows vehicle demographics, it was like 85% of Sunfire owners were women. I think the Altima Coupe was split 55/45 male/female owners.

So YOU'RE the guy I see driving around San Jose. I have the same color coupe as you, and man I always admire it when I see that color car (your car probably) drive by. Love our color

Sorry to hear about your loss. I recommend you wait for the 2009 model, to fix the glitches it has now.

Better not be femanine... I have one

I think the coupe in white is hella sexy, especially tinted and dropped. I do agree though that the front is not very agressive at all and it does need something like a lip kit or eyelids or something. I'm waiting for the right one to come along. BTW, sorry to hear about the other car. I totalled my last one (not a Nissan) and I still get depressed about it sometimes, but things happen for a reason... maybe so you could get the white

Wow What a horrible thing. Sorry to hear this. I know what you are feel something similar happened to me. 2 weeks in having my car an old man smashed into my baby while she was parked. Everything is good now after 2 months in the body shop...... Dont worry ur'll be in a new A/C in no time! The only thing that got me down is when I saw someone riding in one and ur like "oooo I got on too!" but its no where to be seen! haha.

Glad ur ok! Thats NUMBER 1!!!!

That'd what I'ld do. Hopefully you got the gap insurance.

And from looking at your pictures... at first it didn't look like a total... until I saw all the airbags deployed.

Good luck man, get the white. White is the best color on the coupe.

True That! I wish this would happen to me so i can get a 3.5!! haha but then i would consider the Mitsubishi Ralliart that is coming out this year... Twin Clutch SST, All Wheel Drive, Recaro Seats, and finally 240hp TURBO!!

Well sorry about your lose, good luck on your next purchase!

BEAUTY!!

Oh dang! You're local! What intersection did this happen on and when? Do you still have the totaled car? If you had the 17s, I would have given you money to let me swap out my 16s, hehe.

Man, I hate to see a brand new car get destroyed. Your coupe was totally off the hook though. I say get a different color if you're going to get another coupe. It'll be like starting over with a brand new car and a different set of memories. If you go with gray, everytime you see it, you'll be reminded of your last car.
