Altima. Plus real time traffic sounds awesome.

It costs extra by the way 😛. Unless I forgot to tell XM to activate it when I activated my radio, whenever I choose the traffic option from the "INFO" button's menu, it says I need to activate XM NavTraffic.

I think he's confusing them with an Oldsmoboat. I used to drive a 2002 Dodge Stratus SE before I bought my Altima and my Stratus was most certainly LONGER than my Altima by a decent amount. Using my garage as a makeshift measuring tool, there is a lot more room behind my Altima when parking in the same spot in the garage (and practically the same amount in) when compared to how I parked my Stratus.

Oh and you gotta admit that this car sure is seksi 😀

EDIT:

Just to clarify, that's a picture of my Altima... since I've spoke about it a couple times but never shown it, I decided to show that it isn't Vaporware 😛. There's some more but I don't remember the exact numbers for them....

because it's buick like. Altima and Accord would be too sporty.

Hahaha. His old car was a Buick. However, I certainly wouldn't call the Accord sporty.

that's weird, its widely said that the accord is usually sportier than the competition, not really sure about the altima though
 
Car and Driver ran a comparison test a few months back that included the 2007 Altima, 2007 Accord, and 2007 Camry. The 5-year-old Accord took first place, the Altima second, and the Camry was bitch-slapped with a distant fifth place (behind a Saturn and a Kia). So if you value the same things as them, it doesn't matter if you wait for the 2008 Accord, because the current version is STILL better than the new crap that the other companies are putting out.

They reviewed the four cylinder Camry, not the V6.

Dude, google the '08 Accord coupe. Then pick up your jaw off the floor and go to your nearest dealership and get on the waiting list.

Subaru legacy!

Otherwise, what kinda prices are you looking at between the two? Is the 07 a new altima, or is it a refresh? I just don't like buying first year productions.
 
Will the '08 Accords get the new 3.7L V6 carried over from the new TL's?

Also, any shots of the sedan & interior?

Dude, I just saw the 08 Altima Coupe in person....I was im-pressed. For a ~$20k...there's nothing as good looking as the Altima.
 
we have driven all three, and we hated the 4 banger camry. i own the 07 accord, and the bf was interested in the 07 altima because he's too fascinated with the push start.

if you're looking for value, the accord will be your best bet, since the 08 is a redesign and you can haggle a lot more on the 07 price. you won't get that leeway on the altima.

1. are the 08 altima coupes at the dealership already?

2. I'm taking the 2008 accord coupe pics with a grain on salt until I see one in person and not the "this is what it might look like" pics

I'd say Accord = vanilla & Altima = French vanilla.

Uh, no, C&D routinely sucks Honda's d!ck; IMO, I would never put a car that's on its way out ahead of TWO new models ESPECIALLY when they are very close as far as price is concerned and the Altima is better as far as features go.

OP, if you want to hear more of me glorifying my Altima just PM me 😛

EDIT: For more proof of C&D sucking Honda's d!ck dry, see Text. The Ridgeline won a PICKUP TRUCK roundup, and it's not even a freakin truck by proper definition. IMO, the Frontier or Tacoma deserved first place; hell, give it to both because they're both leaps and bounds ahead of the Ridgeline, or should I say Pilot/MDX with the back cut open.
