Is it true that they're going to have a N/A 3.5 V6 making 260hp? hmmm, I wonder if the drivetrain would swap straight into my 98 SE, anyone have any idea? Imagine that with a supercharger...woo!

 

Wow, what an original idea.

 

Where have you been, everyone has been talkin about this for months. Look at the Cheston post, I think the actual horsepower will be 255. Yeah they are going to be fast, ill have to agree with that, lol. Take Care

 

Doh...cant u see im a newbie?

ok..maybe ill be a little more original and go twin-turbo...

 

Yeah I see your a newbie, but if you follow Nissan Maxima's at all youd know about the 2002 model. Oh well maybe you dont. Take Care

 

I've owned my max for a month, im still just getting into the Maxima scene, not to mention this is my first import...

im sorry for posting such a redundant thread...

 

the new Max is only supposed to have 255 HP, the new I35 will have 260 (it costs more, so Infiniti had to give it *something* over the Max)

 

the new altima is goign to have 240 and it will prob be lighter and the new maxima is like 255 only 15 more horses that kinda suxs doesnt it? i think the max is going to cost a lot more than the altima i wonder y nissan made the altima so powerfull? well any ways id still take a maxima over a altima
later peace

 

I am going to my local dealer this week to drive the new 2002 max. I will let you know my impressions.

 

Nissan is adjusting its product line to compete head to head with rivals Honda and Toyota. Accord and Camry already have 4- and 6-cylinder models, and so will the new Altima. This is part of the Nissan Revival Plan being led by Nissan President Carlos Ghosn. It is working. For further information about the NRP, go to

the cars weight are almost the same, actaully the Altima is bigger then the maxima

 

The G20's may be going the same route also. When looking through unrealeased vehicles I seen that they may give the 3.5 to the G20's but also on the concept car they were looking at rear wheel drive. Now THAT would rock.

At least according to the "Nissan/Infiniti Online News
Bureau" the 2002 I35 will have 255bhp. Look under "Infiniti, New Products, 2002".
