Nissan Bluebird Sylphy (next Sentra???)
The previous generation Bluebird Sylphy was sold outside Japan under different names (Asian market Sentra, Pulsar, Almera sedan etc).
The previous Bluebird Sylphy was based on the platform of the JDM Nissan Sunny, the car where the USDM Sentra was derived from.
The new Sentra will be based off of this platform. It may or may not actually look like this, but a least we know what we are dealing with.

See now this is a damn shame when one of your lowest model cars looks like one of your most expensive cars(Infiniti M35/45 to be exact). Its a shrunken M35. Rediculous if you ask me.
Another thing I noticed it seems that everybody is adding that chrome strip to the bottom of their doors just like the 3gen Lexus GS. Car just came out and it seems like everybody is copying that subtle styling cue.

Some people think this is the new Sentra design that didn't fare well in US test groups and is going to be changed. I hope it has the same interior.

I don't really think it looks like an M35/M45. The only part of the car where I can sort of see the similarities is in the headlights. Of course all Nissans/ Infinitis have similar styling cues (so does Toyota/Lexus, so does Acura/Honda), but this "Sentra" does not look like a 50k car.
The one thing about Nissan that i do notice is that their models, at least from an exterior standpoint, have much more upscale looking designs vs. their Toyota and Honda counterparts. The Altima, Maxima, and Murano stand out as examples of this.

Most Nissan models I just flat out dont like right now. I used to be a big Nissan fan(heck, I think I own one of the greatest Nissan sedans ever sold in the US), but to me, the styling on most of the newer models is just not my thing.

And yes, seems the FX stole the chrome strip and now this car. So I am sure more cars will follow.
Overall, it looks pretty big, and seems to be a huge improvement over the current Sentra. I think this car would do very well here.

The swept back rear windshield, the sharp windshield, placement of doors and windows.
The thing that bothers me most is that the rear windshield on the 2nd gen GS has that little lip rising from the windshield (MR2-esque) and the Maxima did the same.

These cars are completely different.

Siigh...unfortunately we've covered this like 4539474792784 times before. There are similarities in the overall profile of the car. Long hood, short deck, roundish roof which has been around since the 1st gen GS and now something the 6th gen Maxima has that it never incorporated before. But if you wanna see a thorough debate about this, then I suggest you search using the keyword Maxima. You'll find plenty.
