fugly headlights and wanna be toyota-avalon-front-end, the rest still so so...

14.5 1/4? Bloody ball sack that's good.

[WillZX2]

I like it, kinda bland though. 14.5 is impressive!

[Beodude123]

The back looks like it wants to be a Camry. Not bad results though. I would take the Altima coupe over it though. Those things look nice.

[LunchBoxZX2]

Either this or the Altima Coupe is my next car. These look a lot better in person with the right wheels. Interior is top-notch as well. And I actually like the headlights... they're different.

14.5 1/4 mile:splitnana:

I think are aiming to make the cars appear more sporty in light of the GT-R release.

[TomStratRT]

To me it's looking more BMW. It has some nice lines.

Since when the fuck is a 14.5 impressive..

[Gregersonke]

14.5 isn't bad for a heavy 4 door sedan with front wheel drive.

BMW has nice lines but thier new maintenance policies have been killing bmw cars. Automatic transmissions are dying consistently at 60 to 100k. BMW's used to be maintenance freaks about always changing this and that. The new setup of covering everything while under warranty came perilously close to the far between maintenance changes. I have an uncle who lemon lawed 3 of them because of this.

Big... heavy... fwd... automatic...14.5 isn't bad, considering it's a family sedan and not a performance vehicle. It still gets over 25mpg on the highway. Reliable as anything, too.

Good ride quality + good build quality + good gas mileage + good looks + good performance + good price = impressive.

[capitalcrew]

Alright well you guys can be impressed with it if you'd like, but no way am I going to get excited about a mid 14s car that only gets 19 in the city.

What if a turbo was slapped on it...would you be even alittle impressed?

[capitalcrew]

Not as impressed as I would be with a car that runs 13s stock that went turbo.

[Mike]

I understand.

[LunchBoxZX2]

It's not built for speed... it's built to get you and your friends/family from point a to b comfortably with enough pep for some highway passing and decent features and gas mileage. It's got way more feature and amenities than a lot of cars in the same price range and Nissans are great as far as reliability goes.

The car you're looking for is not in this category. This is a luxury sports sedan you drive during the week... if you want something extremely fun to drive... they offer the GT-R for spirited weekend driving :-)

You can own both for around $100,000

Still ugly. Now it looks like a Hyundai.
