hey guys! very interesting forum - just joined! Just wanted to come in say hi, and let everyone know how impressed I was with the Altima SE-R. Walked in to the Nissan dealer last week to drop off my 2001 Pathfinder (lease just ended) and ready to walk away - on my way to BMW to order a 325i. Walking out the door I noticed the new Altima SE-R, had never heard of the SE-R model before... I've always thought the Altima was a nice familly car, but it never really interested me as I usually drive 4x4's or sportier sedans or cars. After taking a closer look at the Altima SE-R, walked back in to the dealer and asked to speak with a salesperson. Took the car for a test drive... Holy S***! The ride was awesome, the car is very fast and fun to drive. I placed my order on the spot and will be picking it up this coming Monday.. Can't wait! I ordered the 2005 Nissan Altima SE-R, black exterior with black & red interior, 6-speed manual.
