Skid Control

Has anyone heard if the new Max will have the Skid Control features found on higher end cars? The new Murano has it.

What's the difference between VDC, Skid and tracion control?

Well traction control only limites power to the drive wheels to reduce wheel spin.

VDC/Skid control I am using these as the same thing, I just didn't know what it was called. This uses your braking system to help correct the car when skidding. For example, if you take a turn too hard, and the tail starts to come around on you, the VDC will apply braking pressure to the appropriate wheel to bring the rearend back inline. Now there is an extremely simplified version of it.
