2010 Nissan Altima Teaser Photo Released

2010 Nissan Altima Teaser Photo

New headlamps hint at the Altima's revised face

Nissan has released a single, teaser photo of its upcoming 2010 Altima model.

The photo doesn't reveal much about the latest version of Nissan's mid-sized sedan but does provide some clues to decipher.

First off, the new headlamps show a little of the Altima's revised face. But they are not the same as those found in the Maxima and 370Z models, telling us that Nissan is obviously forgoing any strict adherence to a design paradigm for its lineup. And we don't get to see the grill, which perhaps the Altima will share with its Versa and Sentra siblings. Or maybe it won't.

Autoblog is also reporting that the 2010 Altima Coupe variant will also be receiving a few added technical goodies. Those include Vehicle Dynamic Control and a Traction Control System for the 2.5 S M6 Altima. Also in the cards for the Altima model (depending on drivetrain variants and options packages) are a 4.3-inch color screen with iPod connectivity, Xenon-HID headlights, Bluetooth streaming audio, 9-gig music server, DVD playback and a HDD navigation system.

The 2010 Nissan Altima sedan and coupe models will go on sale next month in the U.S. market.

The outgoing Altima is one of the blandest cars on the road, unfortunately I don't think there's much they can do to spur this platform into any form of competitive sexy/sporty

I'd have to disagree. The Altima sedan looks much more interesting and elegant than other cars in its class (Camry, Accord, Passat). The coupe on the other hand is not really bad either, taking from its sibling G37.

I agree with 2010S5 and also termigni for Camry being the "blandest".

I don't know but from this shot, it looks somewhat like older version of Maxima.

It will be interesting to see the ending result... the little you can see from the hood and the side profile looks to resemble the lines of the Maxima, meaning a bigger and wider model...?

Besides the heavy Mazda6, which midsize sedan is exciting? The Altima is the benchmark performence for this segment.

Looks wider. I think it will look nice. Way better than the Accord and Camry. It was also the fastest in V6 trim. Wat would be nice is an AWD option.
