Default Nissan Altima SE-R

Here is some pics and info on the new Nissan Altima SE-R. I searched and didn't find this posted yet.

Nissan Announces 2005 Altima SE-R Pricing

GARDENA, Calif. (September 8, 2004) - Nissan North America, Inc., today announced 2005 model year pricing for the exciting new Altima SE-R. Taking its “high performance – high value” SE-R philosophy to the next level, the Altima SE-R features a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $29,200. The Altima SE-R goes on sale at Nissan dealerships nationwide in late September.

The Altima sedan was completely redesigned for the 2005 model year with both exterior and interior refinements. The Altima SE-R, the sixth model in the Altima lineup, shares those same features, and then some. The Altima SE-R’s standard 3.5-liter V6 engine has been retuned to a higher level of performance (260 hp vs 250 hp for non SE-R models) and the suspension has been enhanced with performance-tuned front struts and rear shocks, stiffer front and rear springs and thicker front and rear stabilizer bars. The SE-R comes with 225/45R18 Y-speed rated tires and 18-inch forged aluminum-alloy wheels.

The SE-R’s exterior offers a number of special features, including new front and rear fascias, compact fog lights, new rear spoiler and side sill spoilers and large dual exhaust finishers. Inside, the SE-R features sport-shaped leather-appointed front seats with red or gray leather inserts, dark chrome trim and a three-pod center-mounted gauge package, which is similar to that found on the legendary 350Z.

Nissan also announced a $50 increase on all other Altima models and a $50 increase on the Sunroof option. Complete pricing and option packages are available on the attached sheets.

The 2005 Altima brings a blend of performance, style and value that is unmatched in the mid-size sedan segment. With its distinctive exterior design, choice of powerful 4-cylinder or V6 engines, performance-oriented suspension and fresh interior, Altima injects passion into the marketplace and offers an escape from the traditional four-door sedan.

In North America, Nissan's operations include automotive styling, engineering, consumer and corporate financing, sales and marketing, distribution and manufacturing. More information on Nissan in North America and the complete line of Nissan and Infiniti vehicles can be found online at www.nissannews.com or by contacting the corporate media line at 310/771-5631.


















So, what do you guys think?

Anonymous looks. No detailing in the exterior. A bit too boring for me.

Those rims are just wrong.

that looks like a really fun car. i'm not too incredibly fond of the overall styling (from the side, the rear end looks weird, and the whole car looks a bit too "tall"-ish for my taste), but I trust that Nissan will pull this off and release this fun relatively-affordable sedan.
