Newbie story(sorry a little long)

Hi, obviously a newbie, but for you Nissan faithfull my story should warm the cockels of your hearts.I am a sales mgr at a Toyota dealer, I love Toyotas, and they are the reason I got in the business, bought a 2002 Camry SE, thought I could live w/no manual,WRONG. So seeings how I am the used car mgr, I dug and dug to find myself a 5sp Maxima. Of course all the Toyota people thaought I took up a drug habit, but am I glad I bought my Max. W/ a few mods this car is as fun/functional as any I have owned! including my ultra dissapointing IS 300 and my Camry. I have lurked around here for a couple months and have learned a ton. No pictures of my Max yet, but here is link to my Camry(all looks)http://www.geocities.com/tonykimhale...home_page.html

That is correct, the IS was automatic, my Max would kick the _ll out of it. Great for looks, not so good for speed or winter here in WI

I'm sure the IS300 is a nice car, but to me it just looks like a modded up civic 4 door sedan, with altezza lights, nice rims, shiny exhaust, and a nicer engine of course. I would only consider buying one of those with a 5 speed.

As for the new camry, those pics actually look pretty nice, too bad that car doesn't come with a manual tranny, we'd have more competition against us (excluding 2k2 maxes of course).
