That's the Japanese 6th gen Maxima a.k.a Teana. What's the point of this thread?

 

not really sure, but i like the car. clean. reminds me of a VW-Style ride.

 

I hate the back of it. But I love the rims (they look heavy as sin, though) and I dig the front.

 

Yeah, that was posted a while ago in the 6th gen forum. Looks like a Bimmer inside.

Honestly the only thing I like about it is the grille and maybe the seats...

 

Just a thread to post this ride. get some opinions and such (BTW thanks for posting the pics) I think It resemblems a toyota way too much. back looks alot like the avalon. Not my brand of Vodka. and i must agree. the rims and grill are decent. And ya they look way heavy. Glad to be in the u.s. to expereince "there 6th gen" except the japenese "no governer" idea is appealing. ill take the 6th we have anyday? agree????? BTW Polo, I think "your' ride looks hella clean. GJ mang

 

MMM!!! I like the grille, the rims and the seats looks ok ......

 

God, that is ugly. Unless Nissan does a U-turn with their stupid styling recently, I will not be getting another Maxima....Guess it's time to go back to Acura, where they have the styling going in the RIGHT direction. This thing looks like a Passat and a 1st-gen Altima have been breeding...

 

looks like a camry, avalon don't like it body wize

 

looks like a huge passat.

 

That thing is hideous. They should have saved the grandpa-like styling for the Altima and kept the Maxima as a 4DSC. Too bad that day is done and gone.

 

to me though, it just looks terrible. inside very luxurios but whats up with "no audio controls on the steering wheel" if thats true for us then whats the deal?
anyway, STILL think the 5 gen and the 4gen are the best looking cars from nissan '.'

 

if i was in the market for a new 4 door..i would be all over the alti SE-R. 6th gen looks like **** IMO

 

The front end kicks the **** of the front end of the US-spec 6th gen....

 

Nasty................

 

Well I think is time for achange.. I mean a change of mentality.. Damn... that thisng is ugly... are they on crack or what....... I'll keep my 01 until it die but rest asure I willnot buy another aMaxiam ever.... it looks damn ugly.....

 

Awful.... the 2000-2003 Max's are by far the best looking.....

 

If they start changing the maxima to look like that, my next Nissan might be an Altima.

 

Agreed.

 

YEA! I was just at the dealer and checked it out.
I think the SE-R looks great!!

 

The SE-R is out? WTF? Since when?

 

I just went to 2 Nissan dealers earlier today and they both had 2 silver AUTO SE-Rs.
They prob came in this weekend.
Looked so damn HOT!!

 

You're not considering this for your dream garage, are you? Now it's getting all the attention with its SE-R version, and the new Altima sports hybrid that's coming out in a couple of years. Funny how far it got given the fact that it was the most mundane 4-banger out there just 3 years ago.

 

Reminds me of a VW and Honda... Nissan has to do better and make it unique.

Pedro

 

SE-R, is out huh. I'll have to look into that. 6th Gen U.S. Looks solid, and worthy of displaying the maxima name. That thing doesnt. If this continues, its gonna be hello..... 350-z!

 

Looks like a Taurus.

 

looks like something I ate and lost....
I was just getting used to the 6th gens and had almost accepted them...until now.
Maybe I will change my mind when I see one on the road but it's ooglie

 

Guys, this is also the same car the new Infiniti m45 is based on.

 

No, M45 is not based on that platform. Aussie Maxima is based on the same platform as our 6th gen and 3rd gen Altima. M45 is based on the FM platform, which is shared with the Japanesse Skyline, US FX35/45, G35 coupe and sedan, 350Z. Staega wagon also shares the FM platform now.

 

No no no, the G35 coupe (the new one w/ the sport pkg and 298hp ) is still next on my hit list. Don't you worry about a thing!

 

I was pretty sure the new m45 was going to be based on the fuga concept and not the teanna. The platform is also based on the famous g35.

 

that's just nasty... i think the maxima design went downhill after 5th gen. looks like they're catering more to the soccer mom market

 

OMG now you're talking

 

Definitely not the same platform. The M45 is considerably more curvy and smooth looking than that ugliness that is called a Maxima.
Surely, Nissan would get some opinions from current Max owners who would quickly right this car off as too Euro looking and very unattractive.
BTW - those are the same rims currently offered on the Q45 Sport and Touring pkgs except with a Nissan logo instead of Infiniti.
