Which Gen would you really want?

The 3rd gen Maxima had the biggest effect on me as far as wanting a Maxima. As soon as I could afford one, the 5th gen had just come out and that's what I have now. I'm still very happy with the car. I feel no need to buy a 6th gen.

I love my 5th gen and I wouldn't have any other maxima. Not even the 5.5 gen, to me the maxima has always been about the 3 liter, VG or VQ. The 6th gens are nice, but in my opinion ugly as all hell. No denying 265 hp though.

Thi sthread should be titled, "How much do you hate the 6th gen?" There's an opinion thread about the 6th gen in the 6th gen forum.
one acronym: IRS.

as much as i love my 3.5 5th gen, i voted other. I'll never stop kicking myself for selling my loaded and modded 95 5 speed, that car was my baby.
all i'd want now is a 4th gen 5 speed w/ VI, ecu, turbo and all other things needed to accomodate(headers, injectors, etc).

I guess if it puts out more than 214 to the wheels in 4th gear you're right. But somehow I don't think Nissan underrated the newest Maxima...

Personally I love the interior of the 6 gen 4 seat.
But the ideal car would be the 5.5 Gen front with the 6 Gen rear. Love the dual exhaust and cool rearend look. Hate the front end 6th Gen.
