To be honest i see alot of the 7th gen in it. The head and tail lights are definitely similar and the body just looks like a sportier 7th. The suicide doors would take some getting used to but I like it for the most part

As far as I'm concerned, body design has consistently been a weak point for Nissan. If they would hire the Chrysler Corp design team, the Nissans would be awsome.

I know it's a concept but the concept looks too small to be a Max. As said above though, I definitely see 7th gen styling.

i honestly dont think that nissan will make a "luxary" vehicle due to them not wanting to loose sales with inifiniti

That pretty much became the 5th gen Altima (2013)...front end is a little obnoxious IMO. Not sure why Nissan has to design their front grilles in the fashion of the Dodge Ram and Ford pickups...Mack truck style lol.

And there are more and more off the wall (for Garage forum) threads popping up here, really strange...

I just saw a pic of this car.. online and i can totally see this becoming the 8th gen. Just with normal doors and more trunk/length. I don't like how the maxima has so much in common with the altima. it's becoming lesser of a step up.
