Never thought I'd say that about an Altima. The new one is out in Sept. You guys already know that the SLE will be 240HP, and can be had with a 5spd. Not just bringing this old news back up again.

However have you all seen these pics, which is how its really going to look. Last one I saw was the drawing on fresh alloy. Clik on the pic, for 4 more pics.

$hit, the new max is going to be killer. Looks like I'm going to trade again in a few months :P

It a way, its really blows what Nissan is doing to all its 5th gen owners so soon.

 

It looks like it's about the same size as Max. If that's the case, either the new Maxima is gonna be bigger and have more HP or just more HP. If the Max gets bigger than the Altima and only has around 20 more HP, then I can't really justify paying more for a Maxima that's just as good as the Altima. Just a though. By the way, that car looks tiiight.

 

Yes, that is just why the 5th gen is not that much faster then the 4th, because it got fater. They are likely going to make it a bit larger, as it would be strange to have a same sized Altima?

 

the rear tail lights looks kinda weird...but i like the dual exhaust action tho

 

In that pic of the engine, look how close that cat is to the exhaust ports....goodbye any hope of headers...

 

Yeah, most new cars are doing that to light up the CAT faster to reduce emissions.
