My Comments:
I feel ill. I'm dissapointed that nissan is continuing with this tooth progression. Next thing you know, the redesign of the altima will include a tooth :frown: I think that the current sentra and SE-R design is really nice, but now they've just messed it all up :(

Things to note:
- the rear end might be better looking.
- brembo brake package with massive (!!) rotors
- including an AUX jack on the headunit for all the different sound systems available. Is this the first car to offer this from the factory? I think its pretty damn cool.
- also the grill should be removable.

Dodge = a pro?? Not quite. Dodge = crap. I've owned a few. Never again. :(

I've owned a few too, I still have a high opinion of them. The SRT just furthers that opinion ;)

OK, I just saw one on the road. Worst facelift ever. The tooth doesn't look as bad as it does on the Maxima but I still think it's worse than the old front fascia.

The rear fascia is barely changed, they went to an all-red LED-style taillight, changed the reverse lights slightly and angled off a few corners here and there.

I think they were trying to give an admittedly bland car some character, but bland is better than ugly.

I still can't believe that they are dropping the front design off of the SE-R. It looks gorgeous, but not they've gone and fuxored it up.
 

New tail lights look great. New grille looks crappy.

<-- Misses his 2000 Sentra GXE. :(

Damn, I just looked at the SE-R. The front end looks really sh!tty compared to the current design.

Hey, that's what I drive. Hopefully this new toothy design will increase the resale value of my car. ;)
