Here's an article on the first US-made Maxima. It has some interesting sales numbers from the Smyrna plant.

Also, note how the VP for Nissan says the pricing will be 28-32K, not 28-34K. Have they done some last minute price reconfigurations? If it tops out at 32K, that'd be more reasonable.

For 32 K I will definetly get one..and that red max is fresh!!!!

 

What interested me was Nissan will quit doing fleet sales. Should help the resale value of the 04.

200SX looks a lot like 240 SX on that graphic

 

The '04 Max was on the news here in Maryville, TN. The governor was at it's press release, and he said he put one down for order (supposedly).

 

first US Made maxima isnt the 04, hate to brake it to you, but the 2003 Maximas were made in tenn.

 

Hmm, and where do you get this info from? The 2004 IS the first to be made in Tennesse, and all previous years are made in Japan. I have a 2003, and a sticker on it says made in Japan.

 

ummm..perhaps it's BUILT in US and MADE in JAPAN. yes there is a difference.

 

I think the new one is ASSEMBLED in the US but some/all parts come from Japan still.

 

I live in Tennessee next to and around people that work AT THE NISSAN PLANT. The 2004 Maxima is the FIRST and ONLY Max that has been built at this plant. 2003's came from Japan.
