in a quick run through the link you provided and the link in the article, I can't find anything aside from that one side pic. Not nearly enough for me (or anyone else, for that matter) to judge its looks.

My family has had its fair share of Nissan's over the years, but really, I have to say that their modern styling is pretty awful in my opinion. Obviously a completely subjective thing, but I really don't like much at all save the Versa (oddly enough) and that's because I can see it's that way to maximize space.

i'm all over the spectrum regarding their lineup. i'm not a fan of the altima's or sentra's styling, and i find the tails of the g35 sedan and m-class pretty horrible. Everything but the tails on the infiniti sedans are tolerable. The g35 coupe is adequate all around, as is the Murano. The Maxima is OK on the outside, but I find the inside awkward and uncomfortable. On the other side of the spectrum the 350Z and FX are 2 of the most beautiful vehicles on the road, IMHO, and the versa is cute.

I agree completely. From the Versa to the Sentra to the Maxima there isn't a single looker in their range. The new Altima just looks so much like a warmed over version of the previous car. The Versa in particular is really ugly. The 350Z looks like an overweight something.
 
The Infiniti M and G are about it on that side of the house. Oh and the FX.
 
At least they're making their interiors better now.

...my brother-in-law has a black 1997 Altima he uses as a beater car. It passed the 250K mile mark this week.

That's pretty impressive. Has he had any problems with it or has it been ultra-reliable like all japanese cars supposably are ?

Well, the car looks every bit of its 250K miles for one. My 1988 Buick Park Avenue looks like a Pebble Beach Concours classic compared to his ride. I wouldn't say it was ultra-reliable as he pretty much replaced the entire braking system, radiator, alternator, power steering pump, and a few other pieces. Still, for 250K miles, I wouldn't complain.

Yeah they messed up the Sentra redesign. I actually like the 01-03 Sentra bodystyle better than the 04-06 or the 07 model. The Maxima its gotten uglier with each redesign. The last time I liked the Maxima exterior design was the 97-99 bodystyle. The 07 Altima I don;t like that bodystyle either. The 02-06 Altima bodystyle was pretty nice looking though even though I wouldn;t buy it. The Versa looks like something Toyota would design on the back end styling anyway. The 350Z's exterior design is alright.
 
The GM and M are not my style at all. The FX is not my style either.
 
"At least they're making their interiors better now."
 
Yeah their interiors are pretty good now.
 
The way I figure it Nissan is selling more cars now than they did in the mid 90's which was their peak period in the US sales wise previuosly so they must be doing something right.
