I think it's a little off. Lots of ideas thrown together on one car. Nothing flows at all. A mess.

Nissan is slacking on the looks of their recent models IMO.
 
Renault Fluence.

Just look at the windowline with the kink at the back and the bottom of the doors.

Did Renault figure out how to sell cars in N. America or what?

Too much of the tall and skinny (a fine combo on some things, but not a car) going on there. Add in overly busy wheels, vestigial turn signals, a bulbous front box, and just way too much ugly. The fog lights look nice but suggest fragile mountings. The side mirrors need some paint.

I like that it doesn't look like they're going with the "how high can we raise the belt line" approach to windows and I can almost believe it might be comfortable to put an arm out one. The door handles look nice and I like the color.

Perhaps, but I feel the newer Maximas are very nice. I can see a little of the Maxima hood on this Sentra. I'd like to see one in person to have an opinion.

Maybe I read too much Wikipedia, but seeing that window kink on a car like that gives me the feeling of "Mazda trying to pass an econobox off as a performance car" a bit. Yeah, it's not Mazda doing it, but it's the same color.
 
So they tried to dwarf the outside of the Maxima, which is a nice looking car, and got something that looks less appeasing.
 
I like the unique look of the Sentra. I had to double take at the badge to make sure it's not a Lexus.

IMO the best Sentra is the B13 Sentra (early 1990's). SE-R pkg if you were the lucky one.
 
It looks like a Versa and a Maxima had a one-night stand.

Not bad, but nothing new or interesting, really.
 
The problem with Sentra is as a small car consitently uninspiring throughout it history. Always tertiary to big players.

The one exception was early 90's SE-R/G20(twin).

Agreed however Kia kills it with all offerings, style and basic transport rolled into one. It can be done.

I see a lot of the Kia Optimas on the road and they are a decent looking car.
