white2K2EX is a glorious beacon of light

Old interior sucked. New interior rocks.

Old everything else rocked. New everything else sucks.

I've said it before....Nissan needs to fire the guys that style their cars/trucks.

Only exception being the Z....even then, the Infiniti G35 version looks better.

I love the new maxima....I would get it in Black or White...I dont like that New Orange color its just plain nasty....I like the older max too. My dad had an 89 Maxima SE...that car was prett fast. It was white with Blue interior and white faced gauges.

I totally agree that the people that designed the new Nissans (most of them) should be taken out in the street and run over by their own creations!
If I spend all that loot on a Maxima I would prefer it not have the same grill as the Sentra thank you! Are they losing their touch? All the cars they crank out now look the same including the damn Quest!

Look at this GT R35 Concept....what the hell were they thinking when they drummed this up!?!?

I agree Maxima is not attractive, but I definitely dig the Altima (new) and would have gotten that if I had a bit more change in my pocket... Have you driven one? They are tough! The Murano is badass for an SUV also, and the Z is drop dead sweet... only ugos are the sentra and new maxima...

I actually met a guy with a manual Altima, pretty sweet I must say. But we'll see what they do to it next year when the refresh comes along....Very scary indeed.

I like everything of the old and nothing of the new. I think Nissan actually dug themselves a hole this time around. I like the Altima, but the Maxima looks like a cross between the Z and the Altima. Very fugly IMHO.

At least the new one got ride of the ugly altezza wannbe....it has a bit of z flavor in it. Too bad just like Mazda, Nissan is paritally owned by Ford.
