It's A Fake

Hi, Everyone.

I believe those pictures are touched up versions of an upcoming Opel sedan.

Here's a link to check out:

Isn't digital photo editing just fun?

That's interesting. This guy's webpage has pix of future cars made from bits and pieces of cars that have been already made.

Nissan's design has become more and more futuristic...the new Z, Skyline sedan, and altima are more boxey and edgey

Decisions

If the 2003 Max is going to look like the pic shown, yours truly will be a 2002 5th Gen SE owner.

It looks more like the VW Passat! In my opinion I would not be surprised to see it being Maxima, all they do is change or swope the badge from the "Opel to the Maxima". It has been done in some foreign countries.

I believe Opel is part of the General Motors group in Europe. Nissan is part of Renault of France. Opel and Renault (Nissan) would not share designs because they don't have the same parent company.

Anyway, the picture shown in the first post of this thread is fake. I've mentioned that earlier and it's been repeated.

If it wasn't fake, that would mean that it would have to be a hatchback, theres no trunk, and the C pillar is HUGE!!

Well, most of you will ignore me like always. But listen if you want to.

I've seen these pics 8 months ago on newspaper and they were just the concept for the Altima. If you look closely, they look almost identical to the 2002 Altima.

not to me. altima looks much different to me, sleeker, and not as boxy.
