You're right BOSS, our cars are old. And with time things will wear out. Our cars are very dependable too. That's why i bought mine.
Plus to one day put a supercharger on it.

Don't sit here and tell me your 1999 maxima is old.

MY SPELLING IS BAD!
When you learn to speak and write in another Language in less then 3 1/2 years come and talk to me. plus I can speak german, good spanish, and perfect portuguese (can you do that?). I'm from brazil and I came to US 3 years ago, now I'm in college. When you do better then I did in another country then you can make fun of my mistakes, until then don't read my replys
, and be quite.
BTW
If you have a hard time reading threads here at the .org I suggest you go back to the school you came from, and tell them they S**k for letting you pass grades.
I know I don't write perfectly, but It is just because I write what I think. sometimes looks neet and easy to understand, sometimes looks complicated.
*sorry to bother any other .org members, I just had to let it out.

Old age only gives it more character. Id rather have this car than alot of newer cars on the road. Its older age gives it more of a personality. Not to mention I only have 50k miles on my '99, it has ALOT more living to do. Age has nothing to do with it, it still outperforms alot of cars on the road in looks, power, etc. I like knowing my car is hard to find, that makes it stand out more.

sure, our cars are "old", but mines 8-9 years young. Im a senior in high school, and when i rolled up to schoo in it the after i first got it, all the girls were like, wow, what a nice car, bla bla bla, what year is it. When i told them it was a 96, they didnt believe me. My car could pass for a 99 easily, especially with the excellent condition I keep it in. Had the Maximas not changed model designs, it would pass for newer, especially with girls, since they just drive a thing with 4 wheels and a radio.

You are talking out of your rear...you said that some of the American cars are made to die at a certain age. ha ha ha. YOu mean, they actually spend money for REsearch and Development so that it will die and they mean for it to? ha ha ha. Good one. By the way, I have my glasses on.
Sorry if I was too harsh about your spelling earlier, Guinader. I didn't know you were foreign.
And I am not passing grades...I have a Bachelor or Science in Business Administration from a very nice Private University.

Technically, any car should last if not beat upon like you said. However, it has been proven over and over again that, on average, foreign cars are MUCH more reliable than domestics. Whether you watch TV, read it in magazines, newspapers, hear it on the radio, or even search the internet you will find that most reliable vehicles are foreign, where Asian take first and German, although often debated, take second.
I watch news on TV, be it CNN or whatever else and I swear in the last couple months they stated at least 5 or 6 times during vehicle reports that Asian cars lead the way. On all of these lists, despite of what many in this thread believe, LEXUS does hold the #1 spot END OF STORY. Beemers, mercedes, and audis are very good cars - I myself love German automobiles. But in every single statistic and survey
LEXUS owns all - on average, it breaks down least of all cars, outlives all cars, and has had the least number of recalls of all cars.I don't like the smarta$$es who say that LEXUS is a mazda or a toyota with a bigger sticker blah blah blah - BS! If you really think that, than you've probably never ridden in one, let alone drove it. Lexus is an amazing car in all aspects of the word. With a Lexus you really do get what you pay for. They're not made to be sporty performance vehicles also so I can understand why one would take a typical Maxima over a lexus. However, put "sporty performance" aside and I'll take a lexus over a Maxima anyday! I just don't see how some 4th gen Maxima owners can think bad of, let alone bash a precision-made vehicle like LEXUS.
Lastly, sorry to break this to you domestic lovers, but domestics are, on average, the least reliable cars here in the US - a non-disputable fact of life
That is precisely why I am not thrilled with the newest gen Maxima, although I don't want to judge her too soon, simply because it's made where else if not USA - Tennessee to be exact I believe.

he's right. if you've ever been in a lexus, they are quite luxurious, but thats about it. I prefer sport with luxury as a side item. Not the other way around. Just for my preference, I'd take my Max over a Lexus ES300...they are good cars, but I'll take performance over luxury. And it is true that foreign cars last longer...notice Cadillacs happen to be the worst built cars ever...AND WHAT DO YA KNOW...AMERICAN...

yeah just like a 96 maxima is "basically" a infiniti i 30, you idiot. or the G35 coupe is the same as the 350z...what does that have to do with anything. The higher scale of the two is going to have a few more luxury options, a few more upgrades. like the new es300's have 200 hp, and the camrys have 192...i dunno, the point of you bringing that up was what?

The reason I bring it up is because Mr. Bossface claimed that LEXUS isnt just a rebadged Toyota. And I brought up a counterpoint and proved him wrong.
and btw, G35 is not the same and 350Z, you IDIOT.

of course they arent, i never said they were. I was just using examples to prove you wrong. If they were the same thing, there'd be no need to sell it under two different names now would there? And BOSS never said what Lexus model he was referring to when he said it wasnt a debadged toyota.

So I have to correct him, and maybe it was a little HARSH, but I had to make a point. Now you come in, and try to educate ME with magazine and tv statisitics that I already know.
I dispute the degree of manufacturing quality between domestics and imports... and how its NOT that far apart nowadays. because like ive explained before.. its NOT.Sophomore in HS. I think not... If I was, id be bashing your ride, and be saying mines better, neener neener.
