Looks nice. I want to do somthing with the grille eventually. With no badges I bet people do wonder what it is. It's amazing how many people are not familiar with the Maxima.

I was down in Boston last Friday and everyone looked wondering what that Snow flake was doing out on sunny day. I swear on the highway I had people snapping their necks to look at the car only to realize I could see them through the tints. Funny as he$$. Back to Boston, what gives I didn't see one on the street. Does Downtown Boston not like the Max? Ah the stares and ahhhs. Got love that feeling.

I am glad to hear there are people whose 7th gen cars are not piles of garbage. Mine has been 14 months of total headache, with no end in sight.

Hahaha so true man. I was driving and joking around with some friends and decided to count how many I saw I felt like it was like 1out of 15 cars was a max.

Atleast for me that's not the case here in Central Florida. I don't know what our other Floridian members see while one the road but when I first purchased my Max I wouldn't see one on the road at all. Maybe one every now and then. As time passes I am starting to see more and I'm sure that pattern will continue to grow but as of now I might see three a week at most usually less. I could just be in the wrong place at the wrong time but thoses are just my experiences. I like seeing another one when I do but on the other hand I like being different since I don't see them everywhere. I guess I should just enjoy that while it last because I'm sure I'll just start to see more and more as time passes.

To be honest Flip, up until the end of last year, I too rarely saw new Maxima's on the road and that was something that attracted me to getting one too because I didn't want to get a car like a Fusion, Altima, Camry, etc that you freakin see all over the place. I like cars that don't have a really high sales volume so it makes your car more unique. But since this past winter, I have begun to see more and more of the new Maxima's but its still not too bad. I might see 3-4 per day now, but thats a hell of a lot better than the 75-150 Altima's and Camry's I see every damn day!!!

Good for us!!!

I rarely see Maximas here. Every kid with a sideways hat is driving a G35, G37, or 335i.

Here in Atlanta they are still hard to find. I may see one every 2 or 3 days. Haven't seen another Premium version though.

I know right, when I go to school Im always seeing at least 7 on the way to school, 7 in the parking lot, and 7 on my way home, lol. And most of the time I can't see the driver because he is leaning like he talking out the passenger side window.

As long as you don't like the others you will never look like them. I remember when we got the 08 Accord in White, everyone had one but they never looked the same. We(I) took very good care of it in the detail department and the wife drove it with care and never abused. In fact I never heard the 4 cyl screaming almost felt like the 6cyl. We get tons of stares from other Max owners that have other colors but it must be the shine.

I think you, me and a neighbor down the street are the only ones. Sure don't see many 7th gens...a bunch of 5th and 6th gens but certainly not 7th.

Yea most people out here have the white ones with premium package. Thats why I want a silver sport, because I barely see silver sport maximas out here in Staten Island, most of the time they are black.

Even though I see more then before in the last 6 months here in NJ, they are still more rare to see overall. I see G37's, and as you said, see more 5th and 6th Gen Max's currently then 7th Gen's. I will tell you though, I think within the next year that rarity might be coming to an end because the Maxima is selling very well for Nissan and with between 4-6k units being sold per month, they will be more entering the road each day!

I'm starting to see quite a few. Neighbor down the street now has one. I see one or 2 a day, tho I suspect it's the same folks.

I still get compliments on my car tho, so it's still unique enough!

I know, except for the 2 or 3 minor issues I've had with the car, what makes this whole thing worth while and worth it is how many people stare at this car day in and day out! Its a great feeling knowing people are staring at your car!

I purchased my 2010 Max 2 months ago.Ocean Gray.Love it.I always been a Toyota person.My wife a Nissan person. Anyway I went to replace her 2003 3.5 altima 29,000 miles with the same but after looking she decided she still loved her car too much and decided to keep it.Well needless to say after seeing the Maxima at the dealership I fell in love with it.I traded in my 2005 HIGHLANDER 40,000 miles.Loved it for what it was drove just like a car.Sad to see it go but now Im hooked on the Max.Only problem is cant stop washing and waxing it.Looks goooood! Everyone comments on it.Just had the rear windows tinted 20% which becomes 12% when put on top of the 91% factory tint.Had to laugh when my wife said "welcome to the Nissan family"..LOL
