Brilliant Silver Platinum - pulled the trigger
I was down in Rolla Mo - stumbled across a Brilliant Silver with Charcoal interior and upgraded aluminum alloy wheels. Happened to be exactly what I was looking for. Got reasonable trade on Acura TL so I drove it home last night. I was pretty easy on the gas, ran 65-73 and got 35.4 miles to the gallon on my 250+ mile trip home. Needless to say very happy with that. Car is extremely comfortable (arm rests even in the right place for wheel access), sneaky fast, fantastic technology - pretty sure I am really going to like it. Thanks to the fine folks at Al West Nissan for getting me in and out so quickly.

'Easier to find' unless you are in scorching middle Georgia and want a lighter color Platinum. I am seeing lots of the darker color 2016 Maximas at dealers around me, but not silver or white. I am about ready to pounce, but would at least like to see a silver or white in person. I have seen most of the darker colors in person.

Loth.... These things ar popping up all over. I wish you luck but have a feeling Silver Cashmere is going to be a sparse color combo. Silver and Black is the norm as it goes together. You may want to switch to white or get an sr with the camel.

A few of these are on the SR, but not many. That is a shame, because the camel interior of the SR is BY FAR the best looking interior in any 2016 Maxima.
I have pretty much decided on the silver Platinum with charcoal interior - my first dark interior since my Studebaker way back in 1949.

I'm leaning the same way platinum silver with grey interior... The SR lacks some options I want this time..and the 18" wheels look great...dont feel the need for the 19". I want the car with everything since my 09 didn't even have tech package which I feel I missed out on.

One test driver here posted within the last three days that the interior of his new '16 is quieter than the interior of his 7th gen. Until I can test this for myself, I guess I will just take his word for it.

The two biggest enemies of road well-being are heavy trucks (and many state legislatures have bowed to political pressure and raised weight limits during the past five years) and the normal freezing-thawing of winter.
Canada gets the worst of the freezing-thawing cycle.
A further consideration of bad roads is that lower profile tires suffer more damage/discomfort than higher profile tires on bad roads. That is one of the factors I considered when opting for the Platinum over the performance-oriented SR.

But thanks for the tip. If that car is still in Macon a week from now, it may turn out to be the 'one.'

LOTH...what is this "friends and family" plan of which you speak. As a loyal owner of nine Maxima's since 1987, surely I would qualify. I want every bargaining chip that I can have in my possession when it comes time for me to pull the trigger on number ten.

Randy - I did see that one while checking inventory last night. It is only a 'lighted kickplate' away from perfection. I do have a glitch in that I am getting this through the Nissan Friends and Family plan, and I don't know how far away they will let me pull my car from. Another problem is that I am leaving town for around a week at 8AM this morning (3 1/2 hours from now), and will be several states away with no contact with the internet (I don't have a smart phone or any king of pad or whatever else connects to the net, and will be in a very rural area of deep mountains).
But thanks for the tip. If that car is still in Macon a week from now, it may turn out to be the 'one.'

When I was with Nissan Corporate for 11 years it was called the VPP program, where friends and family of someone that worked for the company or military personnel you could get the car at below invoice. This was for both Nissans and Infinitis.
