2009 Nissan Altima Coupe
2009 Nissan Altima Coupe - New Nissan Midsize Coupe Review - Automobile Magazine
In spite of its swoopy looks, the 2009 Nissan Altima Coupe isn't the stripped-down G37 the exterior promises.

That makes sense given that the Altima is, like those cars, a variant of a front-wheel-drive sedan, and not a de-contented hot rod built on Nissan's venerable FM platform.
