Not as bad as I expected and definitely better than the dull sedan...

There is some Mitsubishi Eclipse from the side...

No luck, it's based on the sedan which is FWD only.
But it should have an optional 4WS.

4WS is a waste to me..

Looks a thousand times better than the Altima coupe....

It looks a lot more low-slung than the Alti coupe, even if that's what it's based on. I'd expect the concept to look better than a real world car, so I'm interested to see what the finished product looks like, but this thing is pretty hot for FWDer.

It needs a power moonroof. No power moonroof, no sale, just like Jaguar XK and Pontiac GTO.

Well aware of it. This car is too good for mere words.

Tourist - MType is allowed, but only because we like him :)

Looks good and yes this is based off the same platform as the Altima if I'm not mistaken.

It`s just a concept I know, but I don`t see any CUP HOLDERS! This could be a serious omission! Midwest sales will suffer.

There was one parked last night down the street. I was thinking to myself: it's too small to be a sports coupe and too big to be a cruiser. Perfect wedge side profile shape, though.

I remember driving my 77 Renault R17 Gordini that the dealers couldn't give away new. Great engine, crappy hardware. I wonder if anything has improved.

Says it has a new Nissan/Renault 3 liter diesel, good for 265 hp and 406 lb ft of tq. Any chance this engine will be the one finding its way into the Maxima?

If this is real, I would hope the diesel powered Maxima has similar numbers. 406 lb ft :eek: . I'd like to see at least 300 lb ft and over 30-40 mpg.
