2008 Nissan Altima Coupe – Preview:
The 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe is obviously much more than an Altima sedan minus two doors. Its sleek fastback shape brings to mind the Infiniti G35 coupe, the Nissan 350Z and the recent Nissan GT-R concept car. It aims to do battle with the Honda Accord Coupe and Toyota Solara, which is the coupified version of the Camry.
But unlike those cars, the Altima Coupe rides on a shorter wheelbase, is significantly shorter overall, and is considerably lower than its sedan counterpart. It also shares only its hood with the Altima sedan. The rest of the exterior, including the headlights and taillights, are unique to the coupe. Not surprising considering the smaller dimensions, the Altima Coupe will also weigh less than the sedan.
