Wow, Went to the dealer the other day. THey told me that 2002 max is goint ot be 3.5 L and 275 HP........... UPgrading the size of the car too. Altima is goin to have v6 option with 222 hp and upgrading it to maxima size.

 

Cause I would love the new Max. I wonder if it will have a 5-speed? 275hp? nice. I did not think they would change the size yet.

How about a 6speed .

 

I heard the new max is going to have a 342.662342 hp engine, 3.6643545 litres and a 12 speed manual tranny and it will run on ethanol and it will have dingle ***** like ghetto cabs.

Seriously I hope some of these rumors are true. The again considering that I probably couldn't trade my car in for jack I kind of hope they aren't true... :/

 

<B>For real</B>

I hear its going to have quad exhaust and go 0-60 in 1.5 seconds...Come on...let's turn this back into the TEST SERVER!!!!! I miss the test server!!!!

 

no I heard it'll do 1/4 mile in 1.5 seconds not 60mph and I heard trap speed will be something like 400mph

 

Oh but beware beloved Maxima enthusiasts - I know you are not supposed to believe everything you read but...the word I hear is that Nissan wants to make our secret sports car the Max more of a luxo ride and are in favor of juicing up the Altima, Sentra (i've seen pics and I like), and introducing the new Z. Yes, more power but going after a different market. This means the I30 will get upgraded to play with the big dogs of Lexus, BMW, Benzo, etc....

 

...that we don't have to worry about the Maxima going the route of the Avalon. That's about all I can say.

 

That's good news. I hope you are right. But wow, why the sudden urge for Nissan to put out some worthy performers?

 

All you guys who already have Maximas that are all but 1-2 years old and getting all excited about trading it in already and getting the anticipated 2002. Where do you get the money for this? You get RAPED trading in cars, especially so new? I knew very well with my neurotic ways with cars that the minute I chose one, a better/nicer/faster/more luxurious one in my price range would come out. But that ALWAYS happens since cars come out every 6-12 months and are ALWAYS changing. There's nothing you can do because if you need a car but kept being indecisive because new ones keep coming out, we'd never get a car! Well, all I know is I'd like to have a link to your bank accounts....nuff said

 

Aww man... don't be a playah hata...

 

I do agree with your statement about trading a vehicle, but I will be buying a new Max in addition to my 2k1. A vehicle is never a good investment. Being a automobile nut the bad investment is offset buy overpowering emotions which seem to offset the bad investment.

oh god don't even joke like that.

Is that the fugliest car on the road or what?
