To make this Maxima related, I still think the 2k2 and 2k3's can beat them.

PS: I looks like a cross between a Mazda 6 front end and an older Toyota Camry rear end.

I don't think it will be comp for the new max or the old ones. It does have a 6spd, but it is only something like 200 - 220HP. It's a little smaller than the TL. Saw it in Detroit. I have two pics if you want to see them.

hmmm...

What's up with honda design engineers? Seems like all they are doing are attach the front and rear designs from different manufacturers to their plain jane bodies... The 2k3 accord (both coupe and sedan models) are the prime examples and now the tsx.... Mazda6 front and previous gen camry rear.... I guess they just want the "look alike of the month" spread spot in the import tuning mags... cars are become more muts and pure breds...

I guess that's why our max is what it is... cars like it: zero... I do wish it should have looked more like the skyline with the sharper edges...

Just my thoughts...

To me the TSX rear looked a lot like the RSX and the front like the TL.

Pics are here on page 2:

what's does this thing have to do with Maxima's?

The thing is smaller than the American Accord, which is smaller than the Maxima...

This thing will be classified as a compact, so it's comparable to what? a G20 (no longer in production) or a loaded up 2.5L Sentra?

get this compact car crap off our web site, and take it to www.se-r.net....where someone might care...

just playing man...but really?

well someone brought to discuss so we are discussing it.


plus i like it more than any maxima out there besides what i have.

i will probably have problems stepping up into a g35 coupe.
that is a nice looking car for the price range im looking at. but my max will still be good for a few years of everyday driving. by the time i would be ready to get the TSX the hype will have come and gone. just what i think.

TSX is the European Accord. They're finally bringing it over as an Acura. It's supposed to have decent specs, and smaller than the Accords over here. Looks like every other Honda to me .

who was comparing it to a max?????

never said it was a better car in anyway but i do not like 5th gen 6th gen max.

altima does nothing an i think it drives like turd. i work at a nissan dealer i get to drive whatever the general manager has for a demo. currently its a 350z

but like i said i like it so far better than the 5th 6th gen max. but i still would need to drive it to see if i can hang with a car with less torque still remains to be seen but for now its at the top of the list.

and plus i have a open mind about different cars keps the options open. in the future if its nice ill drive it. nothing wrong with honda.
