Please contact Nissan and tell them they are wrong ... that the Altima sedan is not using the D platform, you fucking write-off ... you're a bigger loser than 'NoNameDufus'. I don't care what fucking hieroglyphics you monkeys used to differentiate models, the bottom line is that "The Altima Coupe, as part of the fourth-generation Altima design, utilizes Nissan's all-new, highly acclaimed "D" platform with increased body rigidity and a redesigned suspension. This new platform was developed with the objective of making Altima one of the best performing large front-wheel drive vehicles available globally." FACT is FACT, you stupid, good-for-nothing piece of feces. I onw your ass, chump ... continue to mop the floors and when you're done that, go fuck yourself HARD. ‘Hemiroid’, it’s the fucking D platform, waste of a life.

The name is derived from the "front midships" location of the engine, referring to the engine's center of mass being located behind the front axle centerline, shifing weight to the middle of the car, leaving the front suspension less encumbered. The engine is pushed as far back to the firewall as possible, creating a weight distribution that's close to 50:50, as well as enabling engineers to place the front wheels as close to the corners as possible for better handling. This platform debuted with the 2001 V35-series Nissan Skyline, and has been used as the basis of nearly all of Nissan's rear and all-wheel drive applications since its inception. The platform has been revised recently for use in the JDM Nissan Fuga/USDM Infiniti M35/45, being stretched in wheelbase and reinforced for additional torsional rigidity. This version is referred to as the "enhanced FM" platform.

Guess you don't remember nissan having a problem on their aluminum suspensions cracking around the collars that had STEEL (retarded jap design) bushings in them, oh yeah, nissan is soooo good though.

It's probably more suitable for the Miata crowd but more choices the better. 222 HP would be sweet indeed for a coupe that small.

Very good post and I am in the same boat as you whereas a few years ago Nissan for me was garbage - but as you pointed out times have certainly changed. I said this a few days ago and I'll say it again. Nissan is on a such big roll it doesn't really matter what they do that it ends up being successful. BMW, Lexus, Toyota and others, "Object in mirror may be closer than they appear!". @ G.

I was about to mention the fact that there is both a C- and D-pillar means either that this is a "quad-coupe" with rear-hinged half doors behind the main doors (like the RX-8) or an actual 4-door coupe. Being an artist's rendering, there would be no reason to add an additional line where it doesn't exist. MurcieMe stole my thunder!

I love both the Z car and Corvette, so I know exactly what you're talking about. For years I always wanted a Datsun 280Z with a chevy small block V8 conversion, would make an awesome track car. also yeah the Z used to go toe-to-toe during the late 70′s-80′s and up through the mid 90′s with the Corvette but by the end of the the Corvette’s 4th generation, the Nissan Z car almost died with the Toyota Supra and Mazda RX7, which was where the Corvette hung in and now it’d be a joke to compare a 350Z with a Corvette.

You hit it right on though of what I was thinking about too. I agree that if Ford came out with a small affordable RWD car slotted beneath the Mustang and gave it some subtle retro styling with aggressive looks and called it the Maverick it'd probably be a success. Although I could def see it stealing sales from the Mustang. I think what Ford really needs to do is move the Mustang upscale just a bit and price it more along the lines of the Camaro and challenger. But hey the fact that you can get a 300hp V8 RWD 2+2 seater Mustang for like 25k new it quite a bargain. yeah, Blakkarr, the early Mavericks were actually sweet car.
