Oh no :( Altima Coupes are on the rise here..

This is terrible. I hate seeing these cars on the road. They think they're the "sh1t" with their knock off G35 coupe.. I'm really sad that Nissan did this just to make a few more bucks.

What I hate most is that one of them revved at me today... Such nerve that driver had

What's really sad is it bothers you and you think they think that.

It's not a G knockoff and even if it was who cares besides you? I think it's great Nissan saw a market and built something to grow their market share.

Why care? They're the ones trying to be a wannabe. It happens all the time with cheaper cars.

dunno why anyone says the altima looks like a g coupe, any car enthusiast could differentiate between the two in a millisecond, and those who would confuse the two.... does their opinion even matter?

You're 19 in a 35K+ car thats modded ontop of that, honestly wtf you complaining about, theres kids out there that can barely get dinner

i care for one reason, the G had a unique look to it and to see Scion TC and Altima coupe it takes away from the uniqueness of the G's design.

Not that anyone would confuse a Scion TC with a G but it is subtle in it likeness, and the Altima coupe is not subtle in its likeness, it's practically a G, design wise.

I understand the OP's sentiments but it really doesn't get to me. And honestly, the Altima coupe people tend to stare at the G anyway.

Thats just what I was about to say.. G had a unique look no other car had.. regardless if its a knock off porsche bimmer or whatever. Nothing really looked like it.

I really woudln't get this upset but its the fact that it comes from the exact same company.. Nissan is really under cutting their infiniti crowd like this.. Especially with interior parts and key fobs.

and some are a$$holes. eh.

So you don't think, at the time you bought your G, that it stood out from the other cars on the market huh? You got it just because it was humdrum and generic, right?
