Red Maximas?
Are there any Red Maximas in years 95-98? I mean really red, not maroon. Even though I found my 92 Aztec red, I keep looking. I can find plenty of 99's but haven't seen a single 95-98. Did they quit making red for a while? I would post in the 4th gen forum, but this is my home! I don't read the 4th gen forum. You guys will know the answer anyway.

Nope, Aztec red for the 3rd gen, then no real true reds for 95-98
then IIRC, the 99 in the SE-L (limited) package could come in Crimson Blaze. No true red for the 5th or 6th gens either.

An interesting side note (I mentioned this somewhere else).
I test drove a 2005 Frontier Crew Cab last month and while going over the options, I noticed they brought back "Aztec Red" as a Nissan color. They didn't have one in stock, so I am not 100 sure it is the same color, but it has the same name and it is a "red red" not some kind of maroon.
I also learned from Keelan (spipedong90) that they made the GXE in Aztec Red, too. I have never seen one in person, but he had one and even has pics of it somewhere.

New Zealand had the option of a red red, (similar to Aztec Red), but not sure of the name of it though, as well as a maroon colour for the 4th gen. It must have been a reasonably popular colour as their are a few of them around.

You can get just about any color you want... you just have to have good connections. I've seen a Baja in the WRX colors... and they don't offer that. I wish I would have bought that... I would have had the only one with that color. But I ended up getting the Protege 5

Red WAS offered as a color on 4G Maximas, but it is without a doubt extremely rare. I've only see one in Phoenix, and it was definitely a factory color. The one I saw was an SE model, and it had the 5-spoke factory wheels (seen on 4G-B Maxes), and it had the dark metallic SE plate badges seen on the newer (very late 90s) Nissans. I have yet to see another like it. It may have even been a dealer-specific thing.
Check this one in Park Ridge, IL:http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...n&cardist=1439
EDIT: searching country-wide, I see approximately 11 "real" red 4G Maximas (all of which are SEs with either tranny) for sale.
