Being that I'm located somewhat close to Nissan in Smryna, I occassionally spot a test mule here and there. Saw a vehicle yesterday with the familiar Nissan family look but with subtle differences I couldn't readily quantify. Guess what it was???? 2 door Maxima!!!!!!!! Maybe Nissan's version of an old man's Z. LOL

Hopefully that one doesn't burn through a quart of oil every 1k miles!

Wow...are you sure it was a Maxima? That would be cool if Nissan made a 2 door version of the Maxima...the new one is a major improvement over the 6th gen.

Ain't gonna happen. No one makes a full size sedan into a coupe anymore and haven't for years. Not cost effective and the sales are not there..............

Cadillac is getting ready to do it with the CTS. I love Maximas and I think it would be a great idea.

I figured the Altima coupe was the entry level coupe? Though a sub-20k car coupe might be a good idea, maybe.
