Yeah, it seems like they are trying to make all their cars look like the 350Z.

Guess im the only one that likes it. It reminds me of an Altima and the Q45 mashed together. The grill I really dont like too much, but the body lines are nice, the tails are nice and the interior is hot.

I think the car, even the 5th gen Max is just too overwhelming to be a front wheel drive. My friend has a 5th gen and there is so much understeer and torque steer, even in normal driving is shows. What ever happened to "4DSC"? ( for those that remember the early 90's Max)

Didn't 4DSC stand for 4 Door Sports Car? what do you mean by what happened to it? were they RWD if they had that sticker? a friend of mine in high school had one.

i don't like the new max, and i don't like the tezzas that nissan is putting on their cars now either. although, the performance is probably bad ***, the rest of the car just looks like plain ***

I like the current Maximas. I drove one that was the top model with the 255 or so hp and navigation... it was sooo nice.

it looks ok but Nissan needs to add some distinction between the models though. Now you have the Sentra and the Altimamaxima350z.

I agree with smokey... Nissan is basically using their VQ35 in all their cars and vans and SUV's and sports cars and......................
About the 4DSC I'm pretty sure Max was never RWD, however, it had decent power and nibble handling... not like the oversized boats they are now.
