Hey i just came across this on autoblog.com

http://www.autobloggreen.com/2...york/

it reminds me of a charger.. and i hate the headlights (especially the gap from the top side and the bottom side and its placement in the front view, not to mention that the grill is too plain..

I am very happy with my Altima Coupe, thank you

what d'you guys think??

i'm feelin the new max. with the front chrome pieces in the grill, and the way the headlights are shaped, as well as the navigation unit area, kinda resembles an infiniti. Definitely looks more upscale then the current max's.

WOW!!

I really like it! It looks a lot like the M35/45 which is a good thing. I like everything about it, but the headlights are a little weird. Love the exterior, love the interior!

Ok guys really come on its not that bad its actually decent looking.. the old max compared to this one is a boat.. this one has a sport tuned suspension light alloys..290HP and as for the lights i think they are unique.. every damn car these days has the same styling type of lights i think is different but a good different but did i mention the back lights are LED's like the G35 look at nissan website it shows the lights if u scroll through. honestly ive seen some pretty crappy cars but this isnt bad at all this is pretty good looking i think you guys need to grow in to it a bit id take this max over the previous model anyday. im glad to see the 4DSC making a come back.. and if it is lighter or somewhere close to our coupes weight then it will kick A/C *** butt i still like the a/c better lol

I like it. Looks much better than the previous generation, which had a bulky, sloping a$$ with strange tail lights.

It is pretty big though, but that seems to be the trend for all modern cars. They have been getting bigger and bigger with every generation. Take the Camry for example. The new one is an absolute boat... It's a freggin steamship. Compare that with the ones from the early 90's, which were tiny in comparisson.

Guess you can't blame Nissan for make a steamship as well, since that's apparently what the consumers desire.

I like the full front shot (first one I think), but that is about it. I don't like the headlights at all. I do like the steering wheel though. I don't really like how ours has the 4 spoke style, I would rather have 3 spokes.

Look at the line of the doors compared to the fenders... maybe blister fender is better?

Similar to the Carrera 4/Carrera S/GT3 etc rear fender concept...

It suffers from the same stock-wheel-well-gap problem that the coupe does. Whats up with nissan and these mega large wheel wells?

I really like the new Maxima, especially the G37-esque interior.
