The 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe is a nice two-door coupe. Elements of its styling hint at what Nissan hopes it will do to brighten up the Altima brand. But it lacks the spark, in looks and performance, that's essential to give a coupe the personality to be an image leader.

The Nissan Altima received a complete workover for 2007, featuing updated looks and more interior space. A Hybrid version featuring a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder was introduced for the late 2007 model year.

For 2008, anti-lock brakes (ABS) with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) is standard equipment.
