I guess they did away with what was a Maxima SE traditon since 89 the White/Titanium faced guages (something everybody else has since imitated). I think they should have kept that on the SE version what do you guys think?

I agree, I like my gauges, so easy on the eyes. The new gauges are not horrible just boring.

Yeah I like my white faced guages too. ![Frown](https://maxima.org/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)
I test drove a 3.5/5MT Altima and didn't care for the new style guages at all. But oh well. No car is ever going to be perfect. I've been looking for the perfect car since 2000, and still haven't found it yet. I don't expect to in the near future either

I agree, the white/titanuim gauges were a pure Maxima SE tradition. What bothers me is that Nissan took away that tradition from the '04 Max, which now carries on in the Pathfinder.
Looks like we'll all be driving Pathfinders when the '04 Max comes out in March

Umnmm, those guages are on the 350Z and the G35 coupe ... they're connected to the steering column so that when you move your steering wheel up and down the guages move with it.

i was referring to the way each gauge is isolated, hence the altima, 350z, and g35 coupe
as far as the gauges and steering column connected, the G35 sedan does so without that pod shyt, i favor that more

Interior is hideous. What with the flat door panels, acres of plastic dash, and I, too, dislike the pod style gages. Good thing my Max's are new (02 & 03). By the time I'm ready for the next car, they'll have an opportunity to lure me back with the 7th gen. Else I'm on to something else. I'll pass on the "6th Senseless" Max, or whatever it is...it ain't a Maxima. My goodness I'm glad I have what I have!

I hate the new gauges in my new Max. They should have kept them white. Too many electronics, lights, to burn out or have to take in and fix if something goes wrong. Having all the electronics should make it easier to use. I teach computers and still haven't learned all of the computerized functions/options in my car. After 2 months.

I think it has to do with the fact that the 6th Gen has an independent rear and the previous Gen's had rear beam. When I was looking at getting my 03 I checked out the 03 Altima. I loved the way it road but the interior was very cheap looking IMO. Now the Altima is very nice looking on inside, not sure how it handles now. I also considered waiting for the 04's to come out but I didn't like the way they looked, but now the design has grown on me a little.

Wondering how a lot of people that complained about the redesigned max (it's gauges, grille, etc.) felt once eBay and others offered aftermarkets?
Personally I loved it the moment I saw pics and read spec about it. So happy to have one sooner than I dreamed. Kepping mine Stock. except red calipers and gunmetal pedals.

Wow an old thread revisited, I guess 01 was the last year they were a real white. I know the 02/03's are more titanium colored as well as the 04's. Also funny NIssan was the first to have those gauges in a car that was going to be in regular production in the 89 Maxima, since lots of copied but most still not as good as the original. Some I have been in stay white at night and look silly.

I like my silver guages. Maybe since that's what I have and never seen the white, don't think I would want the white anyway.
"MONTE 01&97 SE: Some I have been in stay white at night and look silly."
So, do the max whites glow a color at night? Now that may be worth it.
They do sell whites on eBay. Mr. super mod (exploring the info screen change, so brave) just got them, awaiting night pics.
