3.5 SE badging??

Why do you think they are specifying the engine size on the new Max if only one engine size is available? I would speculate that different engine size options are being considered for future Max's.
They did not do this in previous years, to my knowledge. I just thought it was odd they changed the badge that way.

Because they do it on most of their current offerings including the Altima(2.5,3.5),Pathfinder(3.5) all are 3.5 now,Sentra although they didnt do it with the 02/03 Max.

I think they do it to mimic the way BMW and Mercedes Benz badge their cars.

'cept they do it in a better fashion

they put the displacement without the decimal and a zero
sounds and looks better
see? they can't even copy germans properly
