All sources I have seen point towards FWD. But that would be bada$$ to have a RWD or AWD Maxima. I just can't wait until it is introduced so we can get some idea of what this car is really about.

Go to www.familycar.com for the best pics yet on the stock 6th gen Max. You'll see the interior and all that, please get back to us and let us know what you think.

Yeah the interior loks nice. I just have one question.... Why the heck does nissan still have a tape deck in the Max? I mean if someone is going to buy a 30K car, you would think they can buy some CD's.....

You gotta remember as much as the Max is a performance car, it's true nature is a family car and the tape deck is there for the bookworms who will still buy the car for its' conservative flavor and utilitarian use.

sorry to pick what you wrote apart bk, and no disrespect meant, but i just don't think the max's true nature is a family sedan. the defining characteristic of the max is summed up in two letters; VQ...nuff said

I feel you on that, I know that nothing about the VQ says family, I was only quoting what every other numbnuts automagazine reports the Max as.

That's why we all bought a Max, step on the gas and the last thing you are thinking about is family or family car. VQ baby!!! That's what it's all about. Ward's Ten Best Engine List>Best V6 in the World 9 Years and counting!!!
