2k2 brake size

Nissan touts that the brakes are larger for 2k2. Anyone know the size for the front rotors?

According to Road & Track the Altima's (3.5 SE) were 11.7" for the fronts, which are a lot larger than those on my 2K.

I'm hoping for the same size for the 2k2s. Dreaming???

On a side note: Anyone notice the picture of the engine from the new 2k2 brochure? Looks like the close-coupled cat is acting like the primary. If you look there's the first O2 sensor, and I remember from some under car pix posted by someone else, the second O2 sensor is right on the Y-pipe. Didn't see any sensor behind the traditionally located cat. Could this spell future problems for a Y-pipe?

I was at a football game today and saw two, TWO!!!, brand new Altima's sitting 3 cars apart in the parking lot...I thought the brakes looked HUGE compared to those on my 2k Max.
