I am not into it that much. I have seen 2 of them on the road. To me they look like weird station wagons. After the front seat doors i disapprove of the design. i think nissan could of done 10x better.

From the inside it is a beutiful car. I got to sit in a leather SE at the Atlanta auto show. Nice nice nice. BI would not buy it cause of the outside. As other members are saying go for the g35 or I35.

 

G35 is a better bang for the buck if you're satisfied with less interior room (and those annoying seat control switches). For me it's too cramped, esp. with sunroof (hard to find G35 coupe or sedan without sunroof).

Looks like Nissan has built in a hefty profit margin on Maxima MSRP so there should be a lot of wiggle room on pricing both now and in the future. (I personally don't believe invoice price means much, I doubt that's what dealers actually pay).

Both Infiniti and Nissan have pretty bad resale value compared to other Japanese makes.... so neither is a smart buy unless you plan to keep the car for a long time.

 

hey greg, i live in lawrenceville, what about you???? What color max do you dirve?

 

I started a thread and it seems they are ending the I35, so you'll have to go with the G35 if you dont like the 04. And i'm sure the G35 sedan will pull more hoez than the 04...looks too much like a family car.

 

After watching the commercial, reading the brochure, and seeing the '04 up close at the dealer, I'd have to say it's slowly growing on me, but the front of it and the skyview roof still leave me puzzled. Inside looks sweet though, haven't gotten a chance to test drive one to get an overall feel for it, but absolutely a test drive is in the works.

So far I give it an 8 (could improve after a test drive)

 

Once you drive it, you'll want it!! You'll give it a 10+

 

I don't like the 2004 at all. I'm sure it's been said 1,000 times here already, but it looks like the Altima to me. I loved the 5th gen body style of the Max. But to each his own, that's why I got a 2k3.

 

 

Yes, to each his own; and for you...that means the 5th gen forum. There certainly isn't anything here for you is there? I mean, all of us nuts buying ugly bloated cars that look like Altima's. Go figure...I guess we're all smokin' dope, eh?
