While not the biggest segment of the midsize market, coupe versions of the Accord and Camry have been popular and profitable enough to remain in the lineup since their introduction in 1988 and 1992, respectively. However, those—and other coupes such as the Pontiac G6—are closely related to their sedan counterparts, despite significant styling differences and a different name on the Toyota Solara. Scan through the competition, and it's hard to find any direct competitor that you'd call sexy, inspiring, or even more than moderately attractive. The 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe promises to inject a big dose of performance and style to an otherwise snore-worthy segment.
