The Altima Coupe

A couple days ago, some fuzzy pictures of what is being called the Altima Coupe surfaced on the internet. It looks like an Infiniti G35 with a 2007 Maxima-styled grill, but the significance of the two doors, instead of four, is enormous. If this coupe platforms shares the same rear-wheel drive configuration as the G35, the Altima coupe will essentially be the rebirth of the 240SX.

There is certainly a segment for the Altima coupe to fall into, competing against entries such as a the Honda Accord coupe and Toyota Solara. Perhaps an Altima convertible isn't too far off as well. The Altima coupe will still appeal to buyers who are considering cars in the segment, but making the car rear-wheel drive would set it apart from all others. Enthusiasts will embrace an entry-level rear-wheel drive Altima, especially one that wears the SE-R badging.
