New Maxima

Due out in March . . . looks like a big Altima. Maybe they will follow that logic on a new Q; ie. a big G35!

[Mayhem_J30]

it doesn't look large to me... at least in that pic. the max is supposed to be the big car, but i'm curious how that's going to happen with the size of the altima now.figures they would change the styling right when i begin to really like the looks of the 5th gen max/I35. The new looks fit well though with product signature. It's definately a Nissan!

Oh yeah, I'm moving this to the General area

Finally got rid of that beam twist rear axle. Should help separate them from VW in handling and ride.

[BadQ45t]

Yes, the rear end is now independent multi-link again.

Looks like a great car!

Yeah it does look nice. Although I think the rear doors look like the new Saturn ION! :oface Not bad but then again, that is what mid gen updates are for, and there are always great ones on Nissans!

I thought it was butt ugly until I saw one in person.

I even managed to snap some shots:

This was a couple weeks ago at a theater parking lot in Murfreesboro, TN. Living near the Nissan plant has its advantages!

BTW - I've seen the Ion (it was running around Franklin before it was released ) and it really doesn't remind me of it in person.

The sunroof is sideways.I think it will grow on me.I think it looks like a Max/Altima/350Z combo.I dont like the grill much.

haha, did ya get enough of the front John? LOL. I'm not diggin the front end at all, but the rear is lookin pretty good.

Hehe...I had a hard enough time not looking like some sort of psycho. I stopped right in the middle of the parking lot and started taking photos. To make it worse, I had a girl with me who I know thought I was crazy - not to mention it was her camera and I had no clue how to get it to take. I think that's why there are so many repeated frontal shots

[Aus94Q45]

Never seen a sideways sunroof. There is a small shot of it on the Nissan web page.

[theTony]

Yeah, I don't know about that sunroof. I'm gonna have to get a closer look at one of those.
