Looks like I will join the 6th gen family...

My beloved 3rd gen is nearing its end. The tranny is on its way out and we figured it's not worth the money to fix. So we're thinking of putting down payment for a 6th gen. So I might be rolling in a new max in the near future. I'm really big into audio, so maybe I can help out the 6th gen max audio department when I familiar myself with it.

Thought I'd share

White would be a good choice, especially for the Texas heat.

+1 on the silver. Our last car was black only because we got a smokin' deal on it. Looks great when it's clean, but what a pain in the **** to keep clean here in the rainy PNW and the thing shows every little scratch and ding. It would take an even better deal to get us back into a black car again, if ever. I'm not into spending hours each week detailing my cars, so silver is an extremely practical color for me.

You do have somewhat of a point there...when I look at a blue maxima, for just a split second, I think whoa that is one good looking onyx maxima. Then I realize that it is just blue. It still looks good though, just not as good as a black one.

You mix it all up and it comes out grey-smoke grey that is.It's good to see everybody is repping their colors-lol. White is a great color(2nd choice) and welcome to the 6th gen Family(soon to be?).Forget color, when you're inside driving-you'll probably be sold.

i don't mind washing the car all the time, i have a shelf full of car wax/detailing stuff.

i guess i have to go to the dealer and have a look at each color in person.

Yeah some else with wanting to be in our cult!!!! I will have to say nothing is as fine as a Black max. As a matter of fact a Black max is as fine as frogs hair. Welcome to you soon which ever color you decide on. The system will be nice as well I am going focal k2 componets and the kevlar 11 inch sub. And a Pioneer d2 head unit if I can find a double din kit to put it in. anyone seen one?

Go for the silver with the black leather. Less work but white is easy to keep clean too. The black max's are beautiful but if you ever get snow they really have to be first to get a car wash. If you get white are you going to get the black leather? Good luck and welcome soon to be 6th man.

I hope that if you go with the 6th gen that it goes well for you. Your comments about being big in to audio caught my attention. While the Bose system sounds good, I've never been convinced that it sounds like a true "premium" sound system. I've wondered if the Bose name was used as a selling point as much as an actual premium sound system. So, if and when you get your 6th generation, I welcome the chance to read your ideas about improving the sound system. I'm not so interested in large woofers or necessarily more power, but if there are speaker/driver complements that could improve the quality of the sound, it would be great to know your thoughts. In particular, I think the high frequency range of the Bose system is lacking (though I have not read any frequency response data), and I know that the low end is constrained by the relatively small drivers such that there is likely a mid-bass presentation/exaggeration (though again, I have not seen any frequency response data). I wonder if Bose-Nissan equalized the system to provide as flat of a frequency response as could be attained.

ah definately. bose never really did impress me too much when it comes to car audio (they do make some decent stuff for the home though.) the newest bose i've heard from nissan was in my friend's g35 coupe. the highs were a little muffled, and the bass is there, but it can be more defined and clearer. but as for the 6th gen's bose...i just have to wait and see. the listening environment in the g35 and maxima isn't the same, so i can't really jump to any premature conclusions just yet.

i have a few ideas on what i want in the new max in terms of audio. odds are, i'll end up ripping everything out and go with aftermarket components that will handle more power, and reproduce sound like the way its meant to be heard.

so we went to the dealer today to test drive some 6th gens. the ride is pretty comfy and the 3.5 is pretty strong under the hood. my only complaint is the steering wheel. is it me or is it small?
