The front looks like maxima while back looks like altima
It seems to have a 2.0L engine!

Looks appealing, a nice looking small car.
 
It also seems to have on the gear shift [P R N D L]. Does Nissan normally have a "L" setting instead of a number like [P R N D 2 1] or could this be indicative of perhaps a CVT?

Regarding looks, I suppose everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Personally, I hope the ride and handling is as taut as the lines are stubby. It's not working to well, folks. It will be interesting to see if a tuner is brave enough to fool around with this!
 
This is how you abbreviate an Altima.

As a Sentra owner... I'm horrified.
 
The front is from the 2.4L coupe concept that came out a while ago. The beltline is also from that concept, except it doesn't look as good on a sedan (at all). The rear end looks like it was pasted together at the last minute.
 
The car looks tall (a departure for the Sentra) and well... it looks like an Ion, in a bad way. Cheap, simple, awkward, slow.
 
The interior is austere and very Nissan, and I think it works.

Nissan in its official announcement said the automatic on the 2007 Sentra will be a CVT unit. It will be rated at 29 mpg city, 36 mpg highway--kind of poor compared to the 30 mpg city, 40 mpg highway with the 2006 Honda Civic using the normal five-speed automatic.

FWIW, the Civic only managed an overall 28 MPG in Consumer Reports testing. It proved quicker slightly than the previous model, but their last EX managed 29 MPG overall.

Well, thank God expressions like "Different strokes for different folks" and "to each his own" exist, because I, for one, think the new 2007 Sentra looks AWESOME and a LOT better than the previous model! Not that the previous Model wasn't nice, I love it! But, the 2007 is MUCH better looking!
 
I think the Maxima-ish front end combined with the Altima-ish rear end works GREAT and definitely puts the Sentra back in with the family line. It's a GREAT looking car and I can't wait to see it in person and to get in it. The interior looks really nice.
 
I do agree that it looks a little "tall", in the likes of the Toyotas and the Saturns, but, other than that, I think Nissan NAILED it! I have been waiting anxiously to see what they were gonna come up with, since the old Sentra was WAY overdue for a redesign, and I am not disappointed one bit.
 
Well, yes, one bit, but it's preliminary: I read that they stuck with a torsion beam rear suspension instead of making it independent and can't understand WHY in the world they would do such a thing! But, the reviews and test drives and road tests haven't been done yet, so I'll have to wait to pass judgment until then.

I'm thankful that someone likes the new one! Actually I can see some good angles in it now. It's still not a car for me, but I won't accuse its fans of blindness =].
 
But good catch on the rear suspension. We'll see... odd that they have a rear beam suspension when they went through the trouble of offering a 6spd manual transmission.

Yes! Trip Computer! by agalas

The Sentra comes with a Trip computer! Finally, I can track my MPG and turn driving into a joyous experience, an ever present challange to outdo yourself and others!
 
Overall I feel the Sentra front looks like a Cadilac CTS the back looks like a Maxima and it looks great overall.
 
The interior is spectacular, the technology, such as intelligent key and MP3 jacks and a cvt are nice and the find all the storage compartments great.
 
Now I only need to wait for reliability to be proven the equal of honda or toyota and I will buy the Sentra.

First, the interior is extraordinary. Clean, simple, sporty, but elegant. Secondly, I'm digging the exterior. I think that front design looks stretched on the Maxima, but I think it'll work on a smaller scale. The lines of the car are very nice, too. The current Sentra is so humdrum and bland. This is a car that in 10 years will still look like a solid car, and not a little runabout. I likey.
