Front end looks beautiful, but the rear is fugly imo. I never understood why they chose that design for the rear which looks ricey like the toyota prius.

Whoa! the evolution of the Altima lol. It's like the different versions/variations that Boeing has of the 737 passenger jet. lmao

Trying my best here for all to see the cars side by side. Its funny and amazing how details can be so different on these similar sized cars. I'd throw the Passat and Mazda 3 in 2 if I wasn't lazy and A6 since they share the same curved roofline.

Default wow

Wow, looking at these cars together makes me appreciate my SC all the more. It's funny how car makers imitate each other. The SC looks like no other car....none I can think of. I'll say it again. My favorite car of all time is the Ferrari 550/557 Maranello. After that comes the SC.

I think reggiek was referring to his last-gen SC, although I think the last-gen SC resembles the last-gen Celica in many ways too.

There is a RWD Solara custom built running 8s in the 1/4 mile
And the Q45 has had 340hp (more like 200) since 2002.
