2010 Nissan Altima Coupe 3.5 SR Review & Test Drive

Usually when you think of a sports coupe the Nissan Altima does not pop into your head immediately. Nissan has set out to change that way of thinking with the latest Nissan Altima Coupe SR.
The new 2010 Nissan Altima Coupe SR is a blast to drive. It reminds me of the time spent with the Infiniti G37 Coupe. The firm ride from the sport tuned suspension of the Altima Coupe was quite surprising in that it provided a decent ride while keeping the car firmly planted to the road during hard cornering. I would say the ride gets a bit harsh on bumpy roads but nonetheless it did not beat me up as bad as the Nismo 370Z. With a wheelbase of only 3 inches shorter than the Altima Sedan, the Altima Coupe’s ride is still smooth when necessary.

Nissan’s Infiniti luxury brand has really made a name for themselves after almost ceasing to exist just before the introduction of the G35 in 2002. Since then, Infiniti has made performance vehicles that were not quite on par with the German performance brands of BMW M and Benz AMG. Now things are about to change.

‘IS IT OR ISN’T IT A TRUE LEXUS’
Over the past several months I have heard from other journalists that the all-new 2010 Lexus ES350 is not a real Lexus but a Toyota Avalon wearing Lexus sheet metal.
After walking around, getting behind the steering wheel and firing up the engine for a drive, that couldn’t be further from the truth. From the tucked-in headliner at the leading edge of the windshield, to the smooth and precise ride and handling, I can say with confidence that the all-new 2010 Lexus ES350 is 100% Lexus. The only cross-sharing between the two is the 3.5 liter DOHC V6 and the smooth shifting, six-speed, front-wheel-drive automatic transmission.

Ferrari 458 Challenge Spied

Images of an upcoming Ferrari 458 Challenge (458 Italia race-prepped version) have surfaced. No one has confirmed 100% that this is the real deal. From our experience with the 360 Challenge Stradale, the 458 Challenge shown in the images is what you would expect from such a one-off ‘race-version’ of the 458.
