What type of Nissan did I see?

Saw what looked like a Maxima. Could have been an Altima but not sure.

Color was Pearl Orange and the body had much sleeker lines than any Nissan i've seen. Dual twin-tip exhausts and nismo badge where our "WRX" would be on the trunk. Also had a nismo badge just behing the front fenders too. Didn't take a look at the wheels or brakes as we were moving past him.

Nothing about the car seemed aftermarket. Seemed like he bought the car with some type of nismo package?

i think the only two 'car' models that Nissan offers in Pearl Orange are the Z and the Sentra. So it probably was just a Sentra SE-R...

They're actually coming out with dealer optioned Nismo vehicles now. You probably saw a 350z or a Sentra that had all the goodies.

saw one today on the freeway. it was an altima SE R. thought he did it himself but the touches were too nice to be aftermarket. slightly darkened headlights and taillights. decent stance and big wheels. the one i saw was the pearlescent orange as well. looked really good to me. kinda like the jetta GLI.

It looked nothing like a sentra. It was a battleship compared to a Sentra. It had to be an Maxima with a nismo package with this pearl-orange. I searched for pics of the Altima SE-R and it's looks different. Plus the Altima doesn't have dual tip exhaust.

The nismo badges seemed so clean. The car was spotless. Must have just put those plates on.

Looked like this?

Altima SE-R

Drove one at the x-cross at JGTC, not a bad ride.

I mean dual tip dual exhausts like the maxima. I'm telling you... Either I saw a prototype Maxima SE-R / Nismo in Orange Pearl or some guy decided to get it professionally done on a new maxima.
