2004 Max!

[thrasher]

Yeah, i agree, seeing pictures and in person is way different. so we'll see once they start rolling around. the grille still sucks though

[CLouDLe]

Ok if they actually take your photo shop pix and make it like ur then yeah that a nice car.... Actually your photoshop of the max look a bit like the lexus GS430 to meh ... But still nice photoshoping ...

[thrasher]

call me crazy, but i can see GS in the current Maxima's as well, from certain angles anyways. anyone agree?

Have you seen the inside of the new Max? I think it has loads of potential, it's very well laid out, I like the dash, the double sky roof and the trunk hatches (they don't protrude into the trunk).

I'll get some pics and post it if yall want me to.

all this talk about kits and such ignores the fact that stock, it just isn't a maxima...sure, with a kit, just about any car can be made to look great, that is what the aftermarket is for. maxima's have always been good lookers straight out of the box, and that's what made them so great, that you didn't need a kit to make it look great. who wants to buy a brand new car knowing that you need a kit to make it not ugly. like i said, it goes against what made the max what it is!

Man, you're right there, nobody thinks this car is a Max straight out the box, it's gonna take some work especially for the fugly front and that oversized rear end. Inside the Max though is a different story, there's a lot of quality and I think it's what all of the interiors in all the Max's should look like.

Nissan really disappointed me when they failed to drop a V8 and AWD in this new Max. Who wants to buy a new Max with only 5 more hp than the last gen. At least from previous gens to gens they upped the hp and torque between 22-33hp & 17-20ish tq.

yeah. i talked to some ass wiper at the nissan place when the 350z first came out. He told me to expect an 8 cylinder maxima radically redesigned. it looks different but definitely not radical. The 4th gen is the best max to date IMO. they shoulda taken a 4th gen tweaked it and re-released it as a 2004..

Absolutely right guys, I forgot that all the pics bk2 posted were in some ways photoshoped and its a shame that this has to be done to make one of the top ten v'6s look, well up to par... Nissan really let me down, because I first noticed Maximas back when Menace to Society came out and I fell in love with the car. Then in 95 this one cat in High school had a 94 SE blk on blk, Man that thing was fast and beautiful. My point is that these cars looked great stock right out the box and back then nobody even put kits on them. 17 inch rims and a bangin sound system is all the work these cars needed to be truly plush. In the words of bk2, "JUST MY .02"

[thrasher]

yeah, i agree that the 4th gen is the best looking...5th gen is evolutionary, as opposed to revolutionary, as the 6th gen is. nissan has forgotten what the maxima is supposed to be. let's incite a revolt!!

Why does everyone have to be so negative about it? Yes, the front grille has got to go but other then that, I am pretty happy. When I first saw the 5th gens I thought they looked odd, but the more I saw them and I saw what a great car they were I grew to love them. The 6th gen certainly does manke a dramatic leap in terms of styling, but in my mind, it is pretty nice. The side and back both look quite agressive and (excusing the grille) the front isn't bad either.

And for not having AWD and a V8 in the car. Not having AWD is a disapointment, thought it might be offered in the future. However, why would you want a V8 in your max? Yes, more powerful, but you begin losing part of what makes a Max. Any company can put a bigger and bigger engine in a car to make it fast, but the max needs its 6, lightweight but still enough to smoke many other cars on the road. And for business reasons, there is no way they could have put a V8 in, it would have trashed the infiniti G35 sales and competed with Infiniti M45 sales.

Sorry to rant, I just personally love the new Max and got pissed about everyone ripping it a new one. We all are entitled to our opinions so I guess no one here is really right or wrong.

[Paonessa]

it shoulda been some sick ass skyline maxima hybrid. i was hoping to see some twin turbo awd 6 cylinder vq's driving around in 2004

[mad max 98]

definitly guys , we have the best looking maximas ever, they have speed, luxury,style , class and personality, out of all the gens and i mean allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll the 4th gen breaks all the nicks on the road and the track:smoka:
