Not with 225 HP, a V6 Altima gives you 245HP!

Everyone should stop saying "we've been beat" and what not... we're all gen 1/1.5 owners, not gen 2 owners.

225 hp... =\ I'm sure it'll still beat the normal 5 speed accord... the engine spec is the thing that bugs the most... horrid use of a 3.3 L unless it's smooth as hell

Ummm no. That will just drive sales down even more. Good examples of ugly designs...Altima, Maxima, Murano and the list goes on.

i agree with flip. nissan makes some of the ugliest, cheaply made cars that are out there. i mean, this side of domestic cars anyway.

HELLLL no!
nissans been doing a great job lately, at least i think so
their cars are a great value for what you get (performance/dollar), and although im not a huge fan of the new maxima (or altima and murano for that matter) the FX 45 is by far the BEST looking SUV on the road, the Z/G35 coupe are soo damn hot, and the new quest is looking like its going to be a great minivan

FX45 looks like a big shoe on 20s. Who cares about a minivan? You think that looks good? Nissan messed up when they put the VQ35 in every car they have. Nissan can be summed up in one word like your screenname...NASTY. Talk about no originality. But that's another story. Continue the 04 Solara discussion please.

Thanks!

Looks absoultely hideous, just as all newer toyotas do. It looks like all new Toyotas share the same front end, and the rear most definitly was F'ed up. The interior IS very nice, but the engine specs are pathetic for its competition. They should have just came out with a gen 1.75. :oops:

I second that. Its so weird to think we're going to have a new generation of solaraguys on this forum. The ugly generation we'll call them

Stupid Toyota needs to fire out big hoonies in the business that's causing them the downhill drive. Hey, at least we bought our cars before this mess :bday:
