Has anybody seen pictures of the new 03 Max yet? I'm wondering what it will look like and what kind of engine it will have. I'm thinking it will have alot of changes and increased power to seperate it from the Altima. The Max has alaways been the Nissan Flagship so I'm anxious to see it! Anybody got any info?

 

i heard they are making a platinum edition like they made the A.E.

 

I think people don't know the proper use of the emoticon. Please quit over-using this emoticon. Pretty soon it will have no meaning at all.

 

Jesus! This is getting old! The 04 Max, not the 03, will get a facelift and an engine. The Nissan rep for Southern Colorado explained to me that mouths are shut but with a dentist approval( and a new Harley from my dealership)count on a 2004 model.
The max is in jeopardy of the Altima's advance to a new market share.
Most are buying the 2.5 4 cyl. They will use this unit to sell more Nissans! Honda/Toyota will counter by then. The Max will debut with a 3.5 260hp version and the V8 as an option( not a big seller)and pricing will be over 33k to start.I feel the Max is on it's way out.
The Euro people who own a majority share feel the same and the Infinity division will take over the $33k plus share!
Just my thoughts

Not sure about the special ed. but I do know that the '03's are exactly the same as the '02's. The big change wont come until the '04 model year. :-)

 

i''m pretty sure its called titanium edition..

 

From everyhing I've heard and been able to read, it does sound like the changes to the 2k3 will just be trim/etc, called the "Titanium" package. I personally believe this theory...doubting that Nissan would risk stealing any of the 350Z's thunder by launching a new Maxima the same year.

 

Excuse me pal, I didn't mean to upset you! If it bothered you that much you shouldn't have replied. But thaks for the info

 

Will these "titanium edition" parts be available to buy, like the 2K1 AE parts? I could use some TE pedals and shift ****.

 

Here's the link to a couple of pics BrianV caught of a possible sighting of the 6th Gen. Maxima being tested on the streets in California.

just my opinion, but i really dont like the way that the supposed 6th gen. looks. a lot of people feel that the looks of the current 5th gen are an acquired taste (not for me, i liked it almost immediately), but it seems like the 6th gen will be harder to swallow.

 

Cleaned up pictures.

 

man the 6th gen better not look like that. might as well call it Altima version 2.

 

It looks like a very big ugly Altima, Even if it has a v8 and RWD.

 

Cross your fingers and hope it isn't the new '04 max. What is Nissan trying to do?

 

Kinda looks like the Caddy CTS front with the Altima body. I guess their target market has changed - or at least will.

 

trying to make us buy a G35.

 

Anyone else notice that it still rides like it's got a load in the trunk? You think they'd fix it by now. At least that confirms it's a max for me.

 

I agree, I think the Maxima name is on its way out of the door! That thing is a "land yatch" look at how large it is compared to that Accord in some of the other shots on the original link can I say "Avalon". Nissan should just end it with 2003 or 2004 with the 5th Gen and that way it will remain a sporty sedan and as the previous Generations have been, that has been part of the Maximas appeal over the years!

 

Uh.... He's a newbie.

 

BrianV, for these pics I now deem you a living LEGEND! You Rule!

Check out the M45

Could be the next gen max.....who knows

 

You mean www.infiniti.com

John (lumbee) Look at the G-35 in your sig. this car looks almost like the G-35. Maxima or no Maxima. That Wack A$$ Lincoln towncar rear end gotta go. I like the front, The side will do, But Towncar rear end ...

 

The link doesn't work. And what did I tell you about mis-using the emoticon?!?

 

Dont hate, you know you didnt take those pics..It was BrianV..

 

you did not tell ME anything........

 

Does anyone else notice the slight TAILFINS on this car?!? There is no chance that I'd be caught DEAD in a car with tailfins.

Also, can anyone tell me why in the hell can't Nissan design a car with a back end that isn't so ugly it scares the neighborhood kids away. Consider all the recent Nissan-built ugly-butt cars:

1) Our own Max - the last 2 generations (fess up, guys - we know its true. It's improved somewhat by the addition of a spoiler). The 3rd generation in my opinion looked the best - simple, clean lines and a no-nonsence back end.

2) The current generation Sentra. It's a great performing car from what I understand but with those damned droopy-looking tail lights. What were they thinking? The rest of the car looks good; sort of like a mini Max.

3) The old J30. Another @ss-end that scares the kids and makes the dogs growl, yipp, and run away. Prime example of car stylist gone mad (or smoking weed).

 

 

the 4th gen maxima was the best thing that come out of nissan in terms of styling imo...but the g35 coupe is awesome, but its under infiniti
