AWD 6th Gen

Hey All,
I was on the Nissan website in Japan and I seen this car which is just like a Maxima, its called a Teana. Well it is offered in AWD. Maybe its coming here in the near future =)

I could go for an AWD Maxima. As long as it had a V8 under the hood.

The extra weight and drivetrain losses would kill a lot of the fun factor with the VQ35, IMO.

From rumors i've heard, the Japan-market Teana will come to the US as the I35 replacement.

Maybe not, Murano seems to be pretty sprightly with CVT and AWD, and it weighs more.

According to that site the VQ35DE and the VQ23DE engine options are 2wd only. To get the AWD or 4WD as they call it you can only get the QR25DE which is the Sentra SE-R and Altima (base) motor.
