Overall, I think it looks rather longer and sleeker than now apart from the bonnet (hood) which looks bulbous, probably to comply with pedestrian safety legislation. I have always thought that BM's strict 7 year product cycle is a little odd though. Just as we were getting used to the "old" 5er they bring out a new one.
Beemer five series: now with more hideousness!
So that is what the 2011 Altima is going to look like.
