are you asking a question? if so, why set a poll? An Aussie just posted very recently about if our body kits could be shipped to him. that led me to believe they were very similiar. i swa the interior pics on here before. and that article is over a year old.

So No the pics are no way as nice as our Max. but is that even the current Aus Max?

I don't have a 6th gen (YET), but that is exactly what I thought. Now I know, if/when I do get mine, I'll have to see if that grill will fit, and order from Australia!

I think the lights in the front make the car look much uglier than the current US-spec 6th gen, and the whole "reverse-tear drop" look of both the front and the back lights is just painful to look at. Reminds me of the Avalon or some other big "estate" sedan rather than the "sports sedan" that the Maxima is supposed to be...

The window in the back is also a waste... the square look much better as part of the door itself rather than attached to the body... and it probably creates nothing but problems if you have to have work done back there. Who the hell puts glass in the quarter panel anyway?

I have my problems with the current 6th-gen styling, but I would have never even considered one if it looked like that.

It looks like Nissans version of a Toyota Camry.

Just what I was going to say about the exterior...

Interior, looks like an older Caddy or Lincoln.

I like my sharper exterior lines....

Really do not like that interior....is that big wood piece on the passenger side where you are supposed to plant your skull at during a collision?

That "other" maxima is similar in appearance, but honestly the US one looks so much better. I think the new M45 is based on that "other" maxima..

That car looks like a clone of my dad's '03 Q45...that includes the interior, and I hate it! Brushed aluminum in the American version looks way more professional and not so British with the ugly wood trim...Let's face it, our version is much sportier than that thing.

.....looks like a 4-door G35 with a Toyota blen at the back. The interior, it's okay I guess but I love the U.S. interior waaaaaaaaaay more. If this version had come out for the states belive you me I wouldn't have bought the car. Just don't like the look of the car.


BTW, someone mentioned something about wanting that grill. That grill looks like if it's the same one from the '01-'04 Altimas.

For some reason, the exterior reminds me of the Chrysler 300M (not the new 300, or 300C...), but with a Toyota Matrix front. I think it might be the side view of the blue car in the second pic... anyone else see this? The wheels look very similiar to stock 300M wheels...
