So where did all this extra space go to make this such a huge car?
I like my 3rd Gen!

I have many vises against the 5th GEN. Overall the car has a presence of bulkiness and a very plastic feel. I could go on and on, however I won't.
new BMW for me end of next year, unless the 350Z proves worthy. Who know I might just get a TOYOTA TUNDRA 4X4 Limited with a TRD blower and jack it up. You never know with me.

Still not sure on the whole "next car" thing. I've also been eye balling a 90' ZTT white on red with 33k on the clock. A family member of mine has a TUNDRA SR5 with the IFORCE V8. WOW is all I can say. I drove a 4X4 as well and I like the idea of a truck. It would be fitting seeing how I do live in TEXAS. Nevertheless anything I drive will not stay stock for long.

yeah the new
Z should be hot, have you seen the new Ferrari? that car is crazy.
I wish I could keep my third gen but im going to have to upgrade after this new one I got because I cant find any with low miles, probably gonna go with a 99se 5spd although the 5th gen style is starting to grow on me and 255 6spd sounds nice, when I test drove it it wasnt that bad but it does have that "plasticy" feel to it but most new cars do now, the new Sentra's interior is horrible.

Like mine more than the I35 I test drove last weekend as well. That thing is a dog.

Maybe someday I'll modify my rear seat armrest so it can pass-through - modding the whole seat to fold down is too hardcore for me!
Oh yeah, and the more I think about it, the more massive the new Max seems on the outside with little more room inside. If only we had their driveline......
