The back half does look very similar to the G35 coupe, but the front sure looks like an Altima to me. I'm guessing Altima coupe.

NO way is that a G35 - the grill is distinctly a Nissan (with the horrible notch at the bottom). The rear end (specifically the C-pillar) definitely looks like a G35 though, but this is no Infiniti.

Maybe Nissan is pulling a cue from Honda and coming out with an Altima sedan and coupe, not unlike the Accord.

Agreed, Altima equals FWD. If so, it will have to be cheaper to overcome the super-suck factor.

Like the SilEighty? Nissan has a history of making things that fit other cars.

No. It's FWD. Look at the front overhang. If it were RWD, the front wheel would be further ahead of the door panel.

i agree with it probably being some crappy FWD 2door alitma thing that people will buy and switch body pannels on to make it look like a Z/G35/GTR

I think it's FWD, their is too much front overhang, that means altima coupe.

I thought it was a new skyline at first, but after looking at where the wheel sits compared to the firewall/nose, I'm saying FWD, and FWD=altima.

becuase the s15 will cut the 350z sales (close in performance)
for all we kno, these pictures are making the car look bigger then it actually is, if they offer a 4 cyl compact coupe (like the 240sx), it will meet the demands of a average car enthusiast, affordable, rwd, coupe

If it is the same size as a Altima.. its a direct compitition for the Toyota solara, Honda coupe.. etc...
