Picking up my Platinum on Saturday.

As the annual world temperature continues to rise each year (as it has done fairly steadily the past thirty-five years), car color becomes more important. White is a perfect color for a hot climate, and looks great in any climate. I loved my white 2009 Premium, and came close to getting my 2016 Platinum in white, but decided this sporty car also looked great in brilliant silver, so went that way. But I do notice every time I see a white 2016 Maxima . . . they just stand out.

67atomic - I know you are excited about your 'baby' which the stork is delivering this Saturday. I'm glad you got the black diffuser. I have enjoyed having that on my Platinum. Really adds something to the overall image. Your black spoiler, black wheels and silver rocker panels should complete the picture for a rather dramatic vehicle. Maybe you will post a few photos when you have time?

If you purchased the 19" option separately, don't forget to get the stock wheels back. Maybe use them for winter tires.

Wow.. Certified Idiot...

No measurable changes in temperature in the "World Climate" for any number of years, the Polar Ice caps are not melting, and the Polar Bears are so abundant they pose a problem to the population in Alaska...

Keep Drinking that Cool Aid son! Did you buy your boat yet from when the seas rise? Oh wait - the seas are not rising because the "World is Parched" Hahahaha...!!!!

I realize you are new to the forum, but there is no need, or reason, to be rude to someone on here. Everyone is welcome to their opinion. You don't need to call him names because you don't agree. Your reply added absolutely nothing to the discussion. Please keep it civil.

I also seriously doubt you are in a position to be calling lightonthehill "son". He is an octogenarian who has offered valuable advice and his own opinions on this forum for many years.

Thanks

I'm assuming you didn't get the SR trim and added the midnight packages?

Your stay here is going to be short lived if this is how you respond to people.
I'll be keeping an eye on you son...

Are there any issues switching out the 18s for those SR 19s? Does it affect the ride at all?

No idea as to how the 18's ride but the 19's have been great for me.

I find the 19's to have a rough ride but I did not have a chance to compare it to the 18".
