Honda vs. Nissan: Which builds a better coupe?

Exterior Styling, 2nd Place – 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe

Being mistaken for the Infiniti G35 Coupe isn’t a bad thing, nor is touting a front end which some believe plays a big role in the Nissan Altima Coupe’s “predatory stance.” Same goes for artful flanks characterized by muscular wheel flares and a tiered tail end. That’s all admirable, but the rear window doesn’t flow well with the roof line, the nicely-shaped and utterly chrome-free body lacks the Accord’s flair, the alloy wheel designs are ho-hum, and the result is a package which comes up a bit lackluster when compared directly to its primary competitor. Small rear quarter windows serve to diminish visibility.
