they've done a lot to the G, but they have done a lot to hurt it too. that's why im on a bimmer forum, and have a deposit on a bimmer, not a G.

Altima is nowhere near the G, it wont feel like it at all, even with mods. you have to consider driving dynamics of FWD vs. RWD, interior, quality, leather, and a whole bunch of things.
yea, i know the Altima is FWD, but as far as looks, they look very similar, so the G coupe is diminished because it's less distinctive while much more expensive than the Altima. Plus, i hate the way they've only upped the power a small increment compared to the weight additions. What they need to do is step up and make a twin turbo version or put a v-8 in it to put it into the running against the 335. And, it shouldn't cost as much as a Skyline
