Sorry for the oversize pics.

I like the front and rear styling as well as the interior, but that side profile looks odd. Clearly, this shape is meant to maximize interior space as Nissan does with the similarly awkward Versa.

Seems Nissan is really blending the looks of the Sentra/Altima/Maxima. (Check out the new 2013 Altima)

NOTE: You'll notice the Chinese market badges, but this is the Sentra that is on the way to North America.

Well, uh, um, I guess it looks better than the current Sentra. Frankly, I'm not sure where the heck Nissan (or Honda, for that matter) is going with styling these days. Perhaps down the toilet is the answer ...

This is the new Altima for comparison.

Sorta looks like a Corolla in the back. Really dont know why car manufactuers are not making their shifters gated as the old fashion non gated is soo 90's.

Nice car though.

ugly rear view on the Sentra.
Overall it looks alright.

Is everyone becoming fat in the world?! Every car is increasing in size from Japanese, European, and American manufacturers....

I really think Nissan is trying to give every single one of their cars some styling elements from the GT-R. Like a,"hey, you know we make this really awesome sports car, right?" On every single car they make.

Only a very small rotating styling peek is available on the Nissan USA website at this time. Five 2013 models (out of 22 total) are on the build your Nissan page (if you select the all vehicles option), but the 2013 Sentra isn't one of the choices.

I think Nissan's new Maxima, Altima, and Sentra look pretty darn good. I can't say that about any Toyota!

Absolutely hate it! From the back it looks too much like the Matrix... which IMHO is the ugliest car in Toyota's lineup next to the Prius. Plus, I think Toyota's new trademark pinched nostril nose is hideous. Finally, the squared-off light corners look just plain stupid!

I just noticed a link re the 2013 Sentra on the Yahoo! home page. I clicked on the link and the article was posted on 8-21-12 and includes pics....article is entitled: 2013 Nissan Sentra arrives not a moment too soon.
