On the 04 Max the side was more like a mesh net or someting it made it look a little better but that middle part was still not nice looking in my opinion.
I don't like the little Lip spoiler on the back, I'd probably get one without it and put an aftermarket one that'll look better.

I would save myself the money and get the 2K3. I love the Maxima but if I was in the market to buy now, I would get the G35. Currently have a Quest and Maxima, both being close to being paid off. So I will hold off for another three years and see what is out their then unless I can find a killer deal on a 2k2 or 2K3 with very low mileage.

From all the quotes I've read it performs well, just too much damn torquesteer, 265hp will do that to you going through the front wheels ya know.

It's not faster than the previous 5th gen 0-60 but it does catch up in the 1/4.

Are you sure about that? I have seen specs where they got the 04 6spd to 60 in 5.8-6 while they go the 5 to only 6.2 and I have seen them get the 04 auto to 6.4-6.3. The times for that car are basicly the same as the G35 by the looks of things.

Yes I'm certain that I've read that the 04 was around to 6.4, I never said that it could beat the 02/03 in a 0-60 sprint but I did read where it does come alive at the higher rev range just like the 2k/2k1 does, so they do tend to make great power in the 1/4 enough to be even or even surpass a 02/03.

I guess we are reading in different sources, I've read so many reviews and seen so many charts of the 0-60/1/4 mile times on the 04 that it's confusing on what exact figures really are.

This is from www.Carstats.com:
0-60=6.3 and the 1/4=14.7 at 97mph which places it about even in the 1/4 with the 02/03
If you look at others such as freshalloy, Car and Driver, Motortrend, I guarantee all the times will be different but at or around the same figures, some are even on par with the G35 Sedan.

I just would like a nice straight answer for the G35 and Max on the 60 tines. I have seen time for the auto G35 all the way from 7 sec to 6.1 sec.

there are no "straight answers" cause magazines all get different times. but the average time for an auto G35 is between 6.3-6.6, and for the Max prolly from 6.5-6.8, so the G35 is most likely a tick or two faster

Well that still good. What I like about the new Max the is the engine, the amount of room and the fact it comes with heated back seats. Not even the Infiniti G35 nor the BMW 3 and 5, and the Audi 4, and 6 come with that. Keeps you nice and toasty in back in the cold Los Angeles Winters.

Cold Los Angeles winters? Haha, that is very funny. You want cold try -40 below in Bad Toelz Germany, then you'd definitely need those heated seats.
