Just got back from the LA autoshow and the Nissan exhibit area was packed. All the brochures were gone and a lot of people were gathered around the 04' Maxima and 350z. From what I hear, everybody loves the Maxima's styling... The car looks great in person, and the grill is not that bad. I think Nissan has a winner.

BTW... The 03' Maxima was a no show

The tooth

 

I think, if the grille was actually body color, it would be so much cleaner. But, like most other luxury sedans, it has to have chrome lol....

 

lol that "tooth" thing makes it look like bugs bunny

 

hmm... after looking at that front pic for a 'lil, those headlights somewhat resemble the G-35's, but that grille looks like it was designed by both Black & Decker, and Kitchenaid

 

Nissans' 2k4 Max grill reminds me of this --> The car is not all that great looking in person. Nissan has a big problem with their a$$es. The new Max is front wheel drive. The sunroof, it's ridiculous.

 

Ya, you should have seen my face when I first saw the 5th gen back in 99' I was laughing so hard when I saw that rear end in MotorTrend But by Jan 2000, I had gotten rid of the 4th gen and was driving in a 5th.. hehe I don't know if I would do it this time around though.... so you're right, for the price range it is going to be in, I would rather get a RWD. But most consumers are car illiterate.... My mom thought her 4runner was FWD and still questions me when I tell her otherwise.

 

the tooth is growing on me too...its starting to look really good..the 6th gen maxima is gonna be a big hit...

 

They should just call it the Altima XXL. As in xtra-xtra large. Like my jock my strap.

 

No...It's nothing like that.

 

Still not liking the tooth, but it took me a while to like the 5th gen. We'll see about this one...

 

shows over.. nothing to see here
