Hmm...looks alright.
I like the tail lights. But somehow it looks like a BMW or something. But the more I look at it, it looks like an '02-'06 Altima (from the side)!

At least it isn't that boat we've been seeing everywhere else though. This one actually looks pretty aggressive, not as bad as I was thinking.

CoolMax - That hood bulge is simply foam blocks under the camo coating. It won't be there when all the camo comes off.

Looks surprisingly good IMO. Really need to wait till the covers pulled off, but I like those rims...

if it does turn out to be similar to that, i smell a rear end of a GS400..
but the front is nice! resembles the Teana if you ask me. But i see the direction they were aiming for. Luxury sport. But i'll still save my real comments when we get the official car debuted in March at the NY Auto show

I hope the car is every bit as a sports sedan and if it does not have a 6speed auto like all the other cars in it's class, hopefully the 2nd generation CVT in it will be setup to shift like an auto and not like an oversized jet ski

Looks like the pulled ques form all over; Altima SE-R rims, M35 side body, kinda looks like a Charger when you look at the rear from the side. But i still can't wait till it drops all will drive would be great.

There are teaser posters posted at Nissan Canada headquarters within the building, about 10mins from where I live. Apparently the front end is very Benz C-class like, and the workers there say its a big improvement over the current 6th gen. Personally I think anything is better than the 6th gen monstrosity, so I am hoping for only good things here. It would be nice if it was reduced in size and the weight went back to around 3200lbs, but I doubt that will happen. It will be getting a new 3.0L commonrail diesel from Renault however (as most of you know) for 2010...its going to be detuned however, as the current version makes over 400lb/ft of tq....all that tq through the front wheels would spell for disaster.

I really don't see any CLS style, but the guy who helped design the car over at freshalloy says the pics are keeping everything hidden, lots of foam under the body tape.
not to much longer I guess, lets just hope this put nissan on the radar
