2007 Nissan Altima SE

You gotta give Nissan credit: their designers realized that the model’s target market couldn’t take much more styling than the previous version already offered. Long live the evolution! Up front, someone took a belt-sander to the new Altima’s nose, creating a restrained modernity that works well with the new T-shaped grille. The rest of the sedan’s design is similarly subdued: a sharpening of the creases, a shortening of the rear deck and a flattening of the wheel-arches.
