The latest spy shots of the 2013 Altima. Those headlights are a little close for comfort.

 

Its old news. Car is ugly anyways.
I've seen pictures of the full body.

 

WOW ugly side view picture. Thank god the leaked photos doesn't look like the 7th gen Maximas.

 

family resemblance?

more like inbreeding

 

^ lol

 

not the same ..at all..

 

I've already had two folks confuse my car with a Camry. If that level of difference is inadequate, this Altima might as well be the same car. I'm a little annoyed with Nissan about it, they could have gone another way.

 

That new altima is dissappointing.

Good for a35 owners

 

The altima is the lifeline for Nissan - we should wish for it to look awesome and sell well. Shouldn't we?

 

i personally think the front of the altima looks phat....its just the rear looks like the honda accord....

 

Where did you see those
without disguise?

 

Looks like the Infiniti M! One thing that I like about Nissan is that they copy their own vehicles' styles. I like the direction the Altima is going.

 

It sure does, especially from the side profile. Mainly in the rear side window area.

 

im sorry im not seeing the resemblance to the infiniti m series...Not 1% lol

 

I agree.. but i still have high hopes for the altima.. look at the fender and hood dammm thats fat.......

 

The latest pic showing the rear quarter/rear, it is very 7th "genish".

Agreed. Some others here are not seeing the M, but I surely am. Especially the sculpture of the front fenders.

I like the new grille better than the old one. And it was high time to ditch the 'turbo' style taillights which have been on the Altima for ages.

If we simply close our mind to the widely divergent colors Nissan uses to discourage folks from being able to fully visualize the new style, I find the overall effect rather nice. It isn't quite 'Maxima nice', but will be about right for a family car that dealers let go for prices between around $16,995 and around $29,995.

Those hoping for a manual version don't seem to understand the world is no longer flat. Manual trannies are now the least fuel efficient of all tranny types, and fleet fuel efficiency averages have to reach 55 MPG by 2025. We will definitely see some type of hybrid available on the high-volume Altima line. I would love to see a fuel-efficient diesel available, but that probably won't happen on the Altima.

Unlike some here, I think this new Altima will sell very well.

 

It sure does and I agree, it will sell well. The current one in its 6th yr is still at number 2 in the "bread and Butter" mid size sedan in sales. I can see why, its affordable and drives with a sporty flair unlike most of them, Mazda 6 also has that flair.

 

The good thing about this Altima is, it will probably get Nismo parts first unlike our Maximas

 

I think the NEW Altima does have some features from the M, specially the lines down the side of the vehicle. IMO, it doesnt really look like the maxima. So far it looks pretty nice. Everytime a new vehicle comes out, everyone talks negative about it. Damn, car companies cant please everyone. At least give it sometime to grow on you. I think the new Altima will sell well as all the previous gens have

 

^ LOL I'm happy that it doesn't look like the Maxima. I was ready to place back my MAXIMA emblem until I saw more pics of it.
