Nissan made big news earlier this year with promise of five new models over the course of this and next year. So far, we've seen the new Altima and Pathfinder in concept form. Now, some spy shots of the new Sentra have been released.

Decorated in zebra camouflage, the next Sentra's shape mimics the new Altima from front to back. Under the hood, Nissan could be placing a 1.8L DI four-cylinder under the hood, which will come with either a CVT or a six-speed manual.

Other changes include LED taillights, metal-finish accents on the interior, and a Altima-like instrument panel.

Not bad...

would that be first DI'd engine under 2.0L(here)? GM doesn't have one.... does Ford?

improved but not feeling it. trying to be Japanese bland and Euro chic at the same time while being neither.

Probably will sell ok though.

I like Datsun, per se, but these new designs leave me offput. Starting with the Maxima and those weird lights, coupled with the undulating character line, moving to the new Versa, Altima, and now the Sentra. Even the new Pathfinder has a bit of it. I am like "meh", not pretty.

The body language is just plain weird! I did see their new advertisment showing all 5 cars covered driving around the roads and then at the end the Altima becomes unvailed. Pretty cool commercial.

Just not loving the body language.

I really like the Altima, the Versa not so much...Pathfinder is just meh, but I think I'm more disappointed by the switch to being a crossover instead of a real SUV. This looks better than the current Sentra, but the pics of the Sylphy don't inspire automotive lust...hopefully it will be better in person...Still like the Maxima and Z
