What's everyone think? After driving the cars and taking a closer look I pray someone steps up at Nissan and decides to do something. I know that Nissan doesn't believe in FWD performance cars (SE-R line excluded, but they're still shaky about that), but I think this may help them corner the Civic in that market.

What are your opinions?

You've got to be kidding me. Nissan IS a performance oriented car company. Yes, the Sentra SE-R now is a little less hard egded and geared a little more for more mass appeal but it does have a very sporting demeanor and pedigre. No one would doubt the Altima SE-R and the new NISMO 350Z is nothing but high performance tuned. For instance, take a look at Nissan and Honda commercials. Honda appears to be marketed to your brain, with people TALKING about how great a Honda is. But Nissan on the other hand, SHOWS you how the car performs(current Altima and 350Z), aiming at your heart. Well here is a list of upcoming NISMO parts for Altima:

This is the official wording from Nissan(parts would not give me a print because the list includes actual wholesale cost for other items for their eyes only, lol)NISMO parts 08 Altima Coupe:Aero kitDecklid spoiler (wing type) TBDFront chin spoiler TBDRear under spoiler TBDSide sill TBDExhaust (2.5 & 3.5) TBDGraphics - already has part #Suspension kit TBDStabilizer bar TBD
