Then Nissan's LAME attempt to make the Max's tails looks like the Alt's be clearing them out! LAME AS HELL!
Why is the new Max being built on the our Altima's platform?
Face it, Maxima guys, if your only gripe on us is about the lower quality materials used on the inside, you're basically GRASPING for straws at this point! Let it go guys, let it go.

We're not here to argue with you. We're here because we like Maximas. Just because you miss the HLSD and the 6sp doesn't mean you have to come in here and flame.
Second ... both the Maxima and Altima came out at the same time with the clear tails ... who's to say which came first? Go back to your Altima forum and flame us ... lord knows none of us troll in there.

The big decision makers for me to by a maxima over an alty were :
1. 6 spd
2. HLSD
3. HID's standard
4. Navigation System
5. Interior, I didnt like the instrument cluster set-up on the alty
Add these to an alty from the factory, then its a different story. Would have been a tough decision

From what I remember the Alty 2k2 and the Max 2k2 came out the same year right? 2002?
So I guess it's not that important to you despite the fact that you spend 100% of your time inside the car when your driving...

Alright guys, we didn't appreciate the fact that one of you guys said he had an Altima 'for breakfast', when in fact The Max had mods, plus a 6sp, versus a AUT0 3.5, and only beat him by less than 1 car length.
Then yall started talking about our interior, which is NOT THAT much worse than the Max's.
As for the tails, I SERIOUSLY doubt that Nissan cleared the tails on the Max, then said..HMMMMM. That looks pretty nice, let's do the same thing for our ALL-NEW 2002 Nissan Altima! C'MON! GIMME A REST!!
They knew they fukced up the Maxima's tails in '99, so for 2 years they've made LAME attempts to make the rear look better, by changing colors of the lenses on the 01-02 models.
Whoever that was that raced the Altima, tell him to don't gloat like that anymore, because he looked real dumb.

"WE"? You and what army? This is Maxima.ORG
You keep bringing up the tails. Do you work for Nissan? How can you know which they produced 1st? Your complete argument is based on YOUR opinion. I think it's time for you to give it a rest.

I think he said that he had a strut tower brace and some other mild mod - no intake or anything. So it's not a matter of the mods beating the Alti.
Remember the video floating around where the punks in the Alty tried their best to beat the Maxima? It's freakin hilarious - someone post the link!!!!

*blah blah blah* Altimas are nice, but overall Maximas are nicer . The kicker for me was truly the interior...the center console is designed like a Ford Taurus, and similar materials too. Where I live, even 2K2 Maximas still go for more than a 3.5 Alty.

BTW...The only reason I beat him by 1 car length is because I let off early. It was a street with businesses around, and I wanted to respect the other people around.....besides the guy in the Alty of course..
This is great....Hummm Im hungry again, mabye I will have a white alty for lunch today, cloth please, that leather gave me the hiccupps.

He doesn't have any engine mods

It's a mid-life upgrade, most cars are freshened during their lifetime.

Thats just an opinion, but your here on a MAXIMA website, so respect or get out.

This is just my opinion, but it's an honest assesment and the magazine articles agree. I truly like the Altima's exterior. It looks more aggressive than the Maxima. The Maxima looks more refined and has a more upscale luxury type look. I originally went to the dealership looking at the Altima's because I do love the exterior. Unfortunately, when I looked at the interior I felt disappointed to say the least. It fealt very cheap while sitting inside. I took it for a test drive and again was very disappointed. Road noise was intrusive. Just for the hell of it I drove the Maxima. I've liked the Maxima's since the 4th generation, but never considered spending the money for one. I went for the test drive and just fell in love. The ride was extremely quiet and more supple than the Altima. The interior felt solid and gave me the fealing of being surrounded. Low and behold there's a $1k rebate and the dealers are willing to let the Maxima's go at the same price as the Altima's. Everything on the Altima is an option while the Maxima is standard. I know that everyone has different tastes, but you can't deny that the Maxima is a more substantial car.

The Altima's interior does look like a Taurus which just happens to be the car traded in for the Maxima. Yes the Altima has much better suspension than the Maxima, but the ride isn't as good. Have you ever raced someone on a 2 lane corner? I didn't think so. I had the pleasure of driving an Acura 3.5 cl today. I say it was a pleasure because I realized how much price/performance the Maxima has. You feel like your sitting in a ditch in the Acura and the interior doesn't feel as refined althought the layout is pretty damn close to the Maxima. On the Acura's side, the handling was much better.

Well, since someone mentioned the Pathfinder, I think what would be fun is to mod up an Xterra. If we're gonna talk about which is the faster Nissan, is it really that much of a discussion? I mean come on! An Xterra can beat my 2K2 in the 1/4 mile, however only if we are making our way up a sand dune (i.e. cheesy "Chair Lift" reference :-). BTW, I love my Max, but damn, that Xterra engine, you can really feel the integrated first aid kit and the 15hp gains it gives you. I'm tired of my FrankenBerk intake, I'm switching to a CAFIP (cold air first aid pack). Ramble over.

And isn't Nissan already upgrading the leather on the 2002 Altimas? There were posts on altimas.net about better leather in later 2002's..
Nothing wrong with freshening up the look within the same model cycle..

I'm pretty sure going by specs released from some members at www.freshalloy.com that the 2003 Altima's will have more soft touch interior plastics, which means Nissan is actually listening to consumers on the "below-par" fit/finish/materials compared to the Cam/Cord or even the previous Altima. They also said an "improved" V6 engine, which can mean anything ranging from more advance engine mounts, quieter operation, more (on paper) HP. Who knows?
