Well most obviously, they are
all coupes, instead of a mid-size sedan, a mid-size hatch and a coupe...
Infinti Q60
Height 1395mm
Length 4690mm
Mustang
Height 1381mm
Length 4784mm
Camaro
Height 1380mm
Length 4840mm
As you can see the dimensions
match up closely, especially in height.
As opposed to currently where the Altima and Commodore are extremely mismatched to the Mustang which has led to a so-called parity debacle (as well as a hideous race car). Though to be fair, if the Mustang bodywork package is actually ~80kg lighter than the Commodore bodywork package as reported (120kg ballast for Mustang vs 40kg ballast for Commodore), that is a significant difference! All-in-all, the mismatch has created an untenable farce and should have been handled properly during homologation...

So why are Nissan Altimas so heavily disadvantaged!? That is hardly a "cornerstone" level of parity is it!?
I think it's much better to set the same rules for everybody and may the best team win!
It removes the parity shenanigans altogether, as everyone has the same rule book and same areas of developments to work with. Here is a box, design your aero within with a maximum of 2 wing elements (etc). It works in F1, in works in WRC, it is the way rules should be written -- free from farcical runway 'equalisation' exercises.
