That 20 hp in the midrange really improves street driving.

Thanks for all the info guys! I personally think both cars either look or can look good with some mods (maxima lowered looks sexy) so that isn't really that important. I am looking for a "drivers" car that will be fun to drive and I think I will go with the Maxima. Being made in Japan vs here, plus the higher quality materials, plus the HLSD and lower price with performance and weight being about the same from the factory.
Now my question is - How can you tell if the Max has HLSD or not? Thanks for helping me out guys, I appreciate it.

Thank you for the back up. I didnt want to keep arguing with ignorance.
