Back in October, a blurry photo of what was being called the Altima Coupe surfaced on the Internet. Rumor was that it might have a rear-wheel drive platform, making it an Infiniti G35 Coupe on a budget. Well, I have good news and bad news. The good news is that the Altima Coupe will be produced, as a 2008 model. The bad news is it will be front-wheel drive, just like its four-door counterpart.
The front, from the fenders up, is pure Altima. But the rear, as it sweeps back, following a G35-like roofline, is new for Nissan. Engine options are unchanged with the powerful VQ35 six-cylinder, or the QR25 four-cylinder. Even though the Altima Coupe will send power to the ground through the front wheels, buyers can choose between a CVT or 6-speed manual transmission. Sharing the some of the same sexy styling of the G35, the Altima Coupe is guaranteed to be a hit with coupe buyers.
