That looks like a zebra.

Wouldn't be a bad job though... figure you get paid to sit there and spray paint the exterior of a car and see how dizzy you can make people


I'm excited abotu this as well though. If it's anything like the new Camry, the new Solara is going to kick ***. The Accord Coupe is already stealing the spotlight as far as lower-end coupes go, so it's good to see Nissan step up to the plate with this one.

Gotta give it to em, they are pumping coupes out. (thumbs up)
Never thought of Solara as "ugly or bland". It actually looks very hot to me, same like the new Camry, especially the model with all those spoilers and lips around (what is it, SE model?). Exterior-wise I personally would take Solara over G35 any day.

AS Mike stated this car will sell like hottcakes....
I will probably buy it since I'm a broke ol' daddy but want to play miniball with theG35 guys.......lol



On a side note....... I got dibs on how quick someone puts an Infiniti G35 grill/emblems (front/rear) on that Nissan coupe and fronts it as a G35.....
Maybe even staggered rim combo although front wheel drive

Maybe I'm just getting older now (a whopping 24 years old) but I don't have nearly the desire to own a coupe that I used to. I HATE having to let my passengers in and out and I HATE being a passenger climbing into the back of a coupe and back out.

I am primarily speaking of vehicles which are simply 2-door versions of a traditionally 4-door car like this Altima coupe, Solara, etc...

Certain cars, however, that STARTED as 2-door coupe and could never conceivably be made into a 4-door without looking completely stupid... if I want the car bad enough I will overlook it being a coupe. Example of this: Corvette.

For me
1. The coupe has to be a looker. Period.
2. It better perform better than most sedans.
