You might want to think about selling that new Max of yours while there is a strong market for them. 2002 Altima will come with the vq30 eng. (maxima motor). The next gen Maxima will come with the vq35 (2001 pathfinder motor). I got rid of mine ..........

PS I am going to enjoy my Max all summer long! I don't believe the Max will drop big time in price. Remember most people who buy them aren't on the Org and go nuts for mods. With gas prices the way they are and probably getting worse the Maxima looks like a promising ride since the Altima is going to be a huge gas guzzler. I'm not worried...

Yeah, but...
Good God man, it's an A-l-t-i-m-a! They could
put an 8 cylinder engine in it and it's still an
A-l-t-i-m-a.
You won't see me trading in my Max for an Altima for
the same reason you won't see me trading it in for
a Subaru WRX. Why? It's a S-u-b-a-r-u!.
Need I say more? OK, I will. ;-) If you have to be the
fastest thing around, go get yourself a Lamborghini
or a big-block Corvette and be done with it.
Quit whining about the bloody Altimas! I can't believe
people actually wrote letters to Nissan complaining
about this! They won't fix our paint, did you expect
them to ship you a new engine? Enough already!

The speed difference between the 2002 Altima and the 2000 Maxima is not worth fretting over. If you're going to upgrade, why not spend a few more thousand and upgrade to a real sports car (ie. possibly the Z)? Selling right now would be a total waste of money.

altima vs maxima
Not to try to rub more salt in everyone's wound out there
but the new Altima motor IS the 3.5l according to the Nissan website. Only tuned to 240 HP thought in the Altima.
May also give styling clues to the 2002 Max......the new Altima does appear to have clear taillights and a nice (IMO) dual exhaust set-up similar looking to the Acura TL.
But like some others here, Nissan has always made the Altima a crappy simple little car and trying to revive the nameplate may have just come too late................
I'll be keeping the Max

I wouldn't trade my Maxima for it, that's for sure, since I love her and intend to keep my SE until the very end of her life, but if the Altima turns out to be good, I wouldn't have any problems recommending it to others.
Go, Nissan! (Dang, I feel like a cheerleader or something!

, I guess you're right PodiumPaul. What kind of car do you think I should get? Before you say something else, let me have you talk to Deez...Deez Nutz!.org guys: C'mon now; let's not get all worked up by a juvenile statement like this. It's best to ignore it. We all know better.
An Altima by any other engine, be it a 5.4 litre 60valve V12 or a 2 hamster powered 1.8 litre L4, is still an Altima.
A Maxima will never be an Altima and Altima never be a Maxima. Remember: the Altima IS the Nissan Stanza if they didn't change the name.
It's all in the NAME and the MARQUE.

I really do think that Nissan should have come up with another name for the new Altima. Heck, some of us might have actually thought about trading our Max's eventually for the car if it had another name. I can't imagine telling someone that I traded my Maxima for an Altima. I know it's all psychological but to me Altima=Alternative while Maxima=Maximum. I just can't help but feel that way. Especially after this last 2nd Gen Altima (1998-2001)...what were they thinking???

So it appears they are just trying to directly compete with Camry. The Max was always a little better than the Camry but not quite as big as the Avalon (nor as fugly, I might add).
Regardless, I'll be keeping the Max :-)

I guess its easy to run at the mouth so to speek when you hide behind a keyboard. Why didnt you take your own advice "wanabeaMAN" and just "ignore" this thread. And talk about a "juvenile statement", what the hell is the "nutz" thing all about.
The real meaning behind all this is that Nissan is now looking up for a change. It wasnt too long ago that they were a company billions of dollars in debt. Now with Renult onboard we are now starting to see some real cool stuff. As for the altima, the 3.5L is going to be an option. The Maxima will come standard with it. Any one who has driven a 2001 pathfinder knows that this motor realy KICKS ***. Do me a favor dont sell your Maxima with the clear lights, Red dome light, neon dash tubes, DTC making intake, and oh ya K&n Filter. As long as you "Enjoy the ride", then that is all that matters.
