If I was 8 years older, had a wife, the Altima.

Right now, being that I'm 18.. the WRX. :D

For everyday driver, the Altima, just cus I am a big guy. For a sports car, I probably wouldn't be looking at a WRX either (Z is where it's at). But if I wanted a nice combo of daily/sports, and wasn't so big, I would probably get WRX, being that I am 21.

If only the WRX didn't have that goofy round lights it would be a easy choice but i'll still vote for the WRX.

yeah, the pure ralli-ness of the WRX wins out IMO. God I'd love to be a rally driver.

The exhaust manifold has 2 holes, i think, one that's open, and is straight, and another that is curved, kinda like a bypass, and is usually closed. When you open up the 3.5, both open up, allowing more gas to exit when you're gunning it. Correct me if i'm wrong, it's something to that effect.

I'd take the Altima over a scooby. Sure, the scooby can go fast, but I like the Altima better. Plus there's more room in the backseat ;)
Edit: straight from the altima webpage...pic
Variable Intake System
The engine's Variable Intake System promotes more efficient engine breathing. It ensures plenty of thrust off the line; then as rpm rise (e.g., when you're passing or accelerating), it opens a shorter air path in the manifold, for a more direct pipeline to Altima's impressive horsepower.
