When the Nissan Altima coupe made its debut, it came as a surprise to all but the closest industry followers. The company’s rationale was to get as much niche goodness out of its existing hardware as possible. Now, the automaker is reportedly considering adding a convertible to the Altima lineup.
Any decision to drop the top on the Altima will come after an extensive internal study, Sean Blankenship, senior manager of Nissan marketing told Edmunds.
Blankenship enthused a convertible would be “great,” acknowledging the automaker is “studying a number of possible variants.” As for a rival to the Toyota Solara, Chrysler Sebring and Pontiac G6, in the form of an Altima drop top, Blankenship admits, “I’d love that.”
