I'm somewhat dissapointed. I really dont know how to say it other than it looks like a shrunken, bubbled-up Altima. With owning an SE-R, I couldn't go from one of those to this new Sentra. I can see some with an old GXE or 1.8S be more interested in it than I am. I feel like Nissan spent their efforts trying to make this car appeal to the average driver that has too much stuff. Why would anyone need to fit an 8"x11" notebook in the glove box? Do people really take that many notes while they are driving, or have people stopped carrying book bags? Overall I don't think its a bad effort, but with all the weird storage options I think this car is best suited for those working for Best Buy's Geek Squad.

EWWWWW!! This was a horrible, horrible mistake on Nissans part. This vehicle is so ugly that small children all around the world break into tears for no apparent reason. I think if this ends up being the final model (everyone hold their breath and pray that this is only a concept) we can say goodbye to the SE-R and Spec, because the only car on the market less sporty than this is the KIA Sorento.
Honestly, after seeing the pictures, I started looking for a new car brand to like... The Scion tCs look kinda cool for the price. I wonder how much the Supercharger option costs...
It just bugs me that for the cost, nearly every other car company has Nissan beat, hands down. That was Nissan's selling point for me. After the terrible reliability of the Quest, and the Spec V, I doubt that I'll buy another Nissan in the next 20 years or so. After the Spec came out, I was hoping they'd kind of turn things around with this new redesign.
I liked the comments at the bottom of that article. It seems like Nissan missed the mark by quite a bit with this one.

Yeah, Nissan really doesn't have any exciting vehicles to offer besides the Z. The Spec V really isn't cutting it at all.. take a look at the RSX and the new Celica and the new Civic coupes that are coming out.. things like the Neon SRT and the Cobalt.. Nissan doesn't have any sporty coupes like that. I think the Spec V is ugly.. especially the backend. It looks so high off the ground. By the way, Stevja, where have you been? Long time no see buddy.
I'm going to be getting a new sentra when I graduate. I'm not feeling to good about the new sentra. Since I had the b15......im thinking of sticking with the 06 Spec...unless it will show some massive improvement in power.

I bought a 2000 SE and I've been lurking around the b15 forums for a while. Every once in a while I come back here and see what's going on. I like to read stuff about my car and engine, but its kind of hard to find forums specifically about the B15 SE that get any kind of decent traffic.
I agree with you on the compact sport thing. Maybe Nissan will do something next year kind of like what they did with the spec. Hopefully, Renault wont have anything to do with it this time, (so goes the rumor that I hear).
I really expected though that they would put a bigger/more powerful engine in this new Sentra. What's kind of disappointing for me as well, is that the motor in my car, and everybody else's pre 2k SER is more powerful than this new high-tech 2.0L engine. I get about the same gas mileage too. I almost wish they had just gone back to the good old SR20 and kept all of the aftermarket support that they've built up over the past one and a half decades.
The body looks like somebody took an Altima and squished it. I honestly don't like the way the new Altimas look anyway. I can tolerate the new Maximas.

Don't you mean the other way around? It looks to me more like a squashed Maxima than an Altima to me.

Now that I look at it, I can see the squished Maxima 'look'. Squished Altima was the first thing that came to my mind though. Either way, it still looks kindof goofy.
The cars that I think look the best are the new ones from Mazda. Those are probably my favorite cars on the road right now. The new RX-8s lot awesome.

WTF, r they thinking.
i know that they r trying to b all concept like, but OMG, they turned the sentra into sumthing that looks like a ford focus. ok, the inside looks decent, but that bubbly sht is whack. booo boooo, the new sentra sucks.
Definatally looks like a car for the people. Seems to me that the SER version better be totally trick or they might as well not even bother producing it. With all the other kick-ass 4's out there who would purchase one. Dosn't really bother me though. I'm shooting for the Skyline!!
