Boy, you really do have a beef with Nissan, don't you?

No, just the Nissan fanboys that must drop "Nissan~Driven" everywhere they go.

And last time I checked, Honda and Toyota are both rated above Nissan in quality standings as well as sales. Hell, Nissan dropped back a spot and even Ford overtook them. Pffff. Nissan still has a ways to go with their interiors and their rear-end styling:D

Pshhh... like you don't go around struttin' your Toyota fanboi-ism everywhere you go.
Just 'cuz Toyota doesn't have a catchy one word slogan :p
What is toyota's slogan anyway?

If you wanna talk about ugly styling, you should point to the entire Toyota line-up.
Echo - no comment needed
Camry - ugly ass front end
Corolla - ok looking, but it looks like it's on stilts and what's up with them pretty 14 inchers?

Heck, the best looking Toyota is the newly designed Rav-4.

Nissan ~ Driven

Those "ugly" Toyota's bitch slap Nissan all to hell in sales and quality. That's what counts to consumers. Until Nissan figures out how to please their customers, they will always be pulling up the rear except for with ~ Driven fanboys :D

Well, I gotta say that the coupe (in black anyways) looks nice, a bit "off" for my tastes but MUCH better than the sedan, to me. The interior is nice :) Backseat room in both sedan and coupe looks tight, though.

Errr... I think it looks like a Civic, RSX and CL, all mixed together with parts here and there.
The current coupe looks better... more mature IMO

I'd rather have both coupe and sedan from this generation, although by viewing all the pics lately, the new sedan is already growing on me :p

I know a guy who drives a stick 01 corolla. He has a best qmile run of 15.5 and his only mod is a port and polish ($300 dollar head work on a 4 banger). He shames all kinds of cars at the street races including integra GSRs. He ran twice against the new SE-R Sentra and walked him twice. A 3000GT VR4 parked at the side got sick of watching this little corolla wasting everyone and ran against him. Take a wild guess what happened then. . .


Nissan ~ Overrated

Nissan ~ OWNED now that the Accord has 240HP. Why bother with an Altima when you can get Honda reputation/reliability/resale value/quality? :D


Huh! I don't think so. Did you read the review from edmunds.com. And I quote..

During the press briefing, Baker made claims that the Accord V6 powerplant would make us forget about the new Nissan Altima's 3.5-liter V6. We beg to differ, having driven our long-term Altima 3.5 SE to the Accord launch. In contrast to the Nissan, the Honda upshifts and downshifts more fluidly and with less kick, but when the Accord's engine is revved, it fails to delight with any eagerness or urgency to rush to speed the way the Altima's V6 does. The Altima is a thrill ride when the go-pedal is mashed; the Accord is not. This, we're certain, is sure to please traditional Accord buyers, but it's not going to appeal to performance-minded folks.

Oh, let me guess what you guys are going to say next since you can't beat the performance of the Altima. "The interior sucks @ss and Honda and Toyota sells more cars than Nissan will ever will." You guys can say whatever you like, cuz all you Camry and Accord owners will be sucking my exhaust. :D

You find me a stock Nissan, any Nissan, faster than this Honda and I will pry off all the badging off my corolla and sticker out my car with Nissan stickers.

Honda ~ smoking Nissan's sorry ass :p
