Still not seeing ANY new max's on the road in Chicago/burbs
 

Hi,

I drive an '03 Max, and was one of the ppl pretty disappointed w/ the new design of the Maxima. Frankly, I am still not seeing any of these new Maximas on the road... plenty of 'em at the dealerships.. are they still selling pretty poorly? Does anyone else have a different opinion/observation?

Thanks,

Pete

man I seens sooo many in Kansas City. at least 6. 3 at my work. 3 on the road.

I work in Warrenville. There are 3 in my parking lot, which is 2 too many. I like the exclusivity of the Maxima. (Unlike Accord/Camry)
However, they are scarce on the road.
I mostly see them being test driven around the Gerald Nissan Dealership in Naperville.

They seem to be doing OK in the North Dallas area. I live in a burb of about 35,000 and there are at least two other silver, one black, one white, one red and one bronze. I say at least because I may not be seeing the same ones every time. I know that there is a silver auto with tint, a silver without tint and me. I pulled into the parking lot of the garage where my wifes car was being repaired on Friday and parked next to a silver SE auto with tint. We pretended not to notice each other, kind of like we were wearing the same dress at a party.

I see tons of them in NYC. Looking at Nissan's website ( www.nissannews.com ), Maxima sales are up from last year, so yes, they are selling.

Yeah I live in Glenview and have seen plenty of them on Dempster in Niles. Alot of the people driving them are old farts or fat unattractive ladies. Still, I've seen plenty.

:laugh:

that figure doesn't say anything about the '04 maxima, guy -- that's the alty's, sentra.. etc. and all the '03 max's they are dumping like wildfire...

I still don't believe the '04 max is gunna cut it like the '03 and previous generations did...

I dont see hardly any on the road in my area Lewisville/Coppell area.

seen another one today a silver one
make that 7 different ones I've seen on the roads!

Funny, you and I are reporting the oposite results from the same area.

Well its the truth I rarely see any of them in this area or in the DFW area in general and I am out and about alot. Heck their arent alot of 02/03's around here either but way more 00/01's and 95 and 96's.

I live in Westmont, Downers Grove area.....and there's a whole bunch of 04 Maxima driving around. Cass and Ogden.

I agree with you about 00/01s but they have been out for 4 years. I certainly see more 02/03s than 04s.
I don't know about DFW in general because I'm not out and about that much.
Do we agree on terms? You said rarely. I said I can identify 6 distinct cars including mine, in the Lewisville area. I rarely see one of the other 5.
I've only been looking for them for the last 8 or so weeks, since I bought mine. I would estimate that between my house near Lewisville and my office at DNT/Frankford I have seen about 12-15 of them in two months time. That would be about one every 4-5 days.
I wonder if this is a half full/half empty thang.

I live in Naperville, Warrenville area.. and they're pretty scarce around here minus around the dealership ..

In chicago proper, forget about it.. NONE.

I agree with ya bro, but yeah I do see more 02/03's than 04's but no where near as many 02/03's as the others.

Took a trip from suburban Philadelphia to the Jersey shore today and saw SIX '04 Maximas along the way.

The last one was coming down the Walt Whitman bridge in the opposite direction at dusk and those HID headlights are definitely on the purplish/blue side...similar to Audi.

I wonder if that color is supposedly just as effective for driver visibility as the "whiter" bulbs that NHTSA is so ticked off about. I don't imagine they create the same glare for the oncoming motorist.

North suburbs, Norhbrook/Deerfield/Highland Park. Across the street from my office there's a carwash and I have only seen two 04s there. A guy has a silver SE with a moonroof he gets washed religiously. The other one was a black one, and the lady never came back.

Out and about, I see 04s on the road maybe once or twice a month, bar the test drives around 41 in HP. Those are pretty sad numbers.

If she's running a BLACK car thru an automated carwash, it should be taken away from her ;-)

... that's where I live, 05, white with tint and billet grill.
I've seen 4 others all around 35 and 121. Parked as far away as I could from another white one (with dealer tags) at the Kroger at the same location (35 & 121).

I've noticed a few older gens around but often confuse them with Camrys and Accords so there may be more.

Okiewan, you really dug this thread up! There wasnt a reply since 8-8-03

That's wierd, it showed up as a thread with new replies in the forum list.
Odd. Didn't notice the date of last reply actually.

Was in Palm Springs in January. Lots of new Maximas there.

Interestingly, in Palm Springs most of the new Maxs seem to be owned by 20 somethings. Here in Grand Rapids, MI, I see a lot of new Maxs, but most are owned by older folks (50+ by my eye).

WTF? This isn't the first time this has happened in the various forums today. Some 2 year old threads resurrected. Must be the Easter bunny trying to fool us, lol!

I see a few 6th gen Maximas in Houston, but not too many. I like that though....still get people ask me what it is sometimes.

What we have WAY too many of in Houston are the freakin little civics with the fart cans on them. GOD those irritate the crap out of me. Dont they know how stupid they look and sound??

I need to start carrying some large potatos around in my car......

I would hope we're seeing a lot more now seeing as this thread is a year and a half old!! It's 05 and I see plenty of Maximas on the road. I guess they had some time to sell since AUGUST 8, 2003!!!!!! :tardsmash

Plenty here in Virginia Beach. I see at least 5 a day here!

Did you read post number 24?

Buffalo suburbs I sometimes see 2-3 in a day, sometimes days go by without seeing any.

I see alot in Brooklyn. When I drove down to Bike Week in Florida I ony saw 1 on the way down and none coming back. In my travels in Florida I see alot of Altimas. Happy Easter Warren :easter:

I work in Northbrook and we have 4 in my little parking lot. There are 2 in the adjacent lot. Since the lot is full of S-class, 745s, and Audis, we tend to park in a pack.
