That's pretty cool. Those headlights are pretty off the wall - not sure if I like that or not.

Hopefully this time they power the Maxima to be faster than the Altima. I think that's a big mistake they made with the earlier model....

i really don't like where nissan is going with the back end/tail lights on their new cars, it's looks ugly and cheap to me.

Although i do like the front and the interior.

It's .... different than the current one. The front reminds of the GT-R slightly or I think they like the new N.A. Accord's front. The back is getting a little Kia/Hyundai-ish. Not too bad i guess.

Doesn't have the same initial impression on me as the previous 2 or 3 models. But we'll see when more pics get released.

The interior has come a long way in that car.

It's too bad it's probably got the same dated power plant as all the other Nissans.

nissan is trying to make all the back ends of thier cars look like the g35 coupe with the flat look

It alright. I dont like the headlights, and I think the wheelbase is too short, that is from a sideview it looks like both wheels should be farther away.
At least they got rid of the crappy gauge cluster that was impossible to read in the current ones.

Interior :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Exterior :thumbsdow :thumbsdow :barf:

Front end kind of reminds me of the new accord sedan... and everything just looks wrong. I don't know what their designers were thinking on that one./

I think the new accord is way nicer.

I love my Maxima when I head out on the highway on trips, but in town it is way too big. Not sure about the 'dated' drivetrain. I gently press the gas on deerfoot and I'm at 200 before I know it.

When my lease is up I'll be going back to a small car.

I'm not a 100% on the exterior yet (mainly the front), but the interior is impressive. It is amazing how Nissan/Infiniti has gone from some of the worst interiors in the business to some of the best recently IMO.

Previous Altima/Murano/Titan/Armada/G35 were all quite below average but the current restyles of all of them that have just came out are all some of if not the best in class imo. :thumbsup:

^ see and that boxy front is the worst part imo. Reminds me of the new Accord too. I think the boxy fronts are brutal looking.

It was gameover when they released the new Altima coupe in FWD.

FWD = Boring.

Altima took over Maxima's role in 02. Maxima is supposed to take on Avalon now, hence the size.

The interior is a variation of Infiniti's which they use for all G, EX and new FX class.

Just go buy an Infiniti if you need RWD.

I am liking the funky headlights, I hate the rears, but the interior is nice and clean. I'd love to see a 2-door.

From the side the front is sort of like the new Lancer and the rear is like a Mercedes S Class.
