If you guys had a choice in a design change for the Gen 5, what would it be? What do you guys think?

I personally would change the rear end styling.

I personally would change the rear end styling.
Most of the car:
1. Change the shape of the side marker lights to match the car - maybe the shape of the door handle inserts.
2. Round the ugly protruding corners on the front and rear bumper caps. (there aren't any other square shapes - why those Cyrano bulges?)
3.Smooth out the 1970's fake fender flares.
4. Get rid of the Mustangesque hood creases.
5. Anything would help the taillights, especially the stupid SE blackouts.
6. Get rid of the center post on the rear spoiler.
7. Add a small chin spoiler in front.
8. Move the foglights forward in their holes so they would work right.
9. Tighten up the fender to tire clearance.

I would change that ugly *** rear end.
and get rid of that annoying fender to tire gap.
Other than that I think the car is nice as it is.

I didn't like the rear end of the new max at first, but now I like it. The lines are a little cleaner and with the stillen kit it lokks much better. I still don't like the front of it, its simply too boring. I have a feeling that I already own the last maxima that I will buy (but I plan to drive it into the ground)

Something closer to

The 4 door skyline front end. All US Nissan cars would following these styling cues instead of the frumpy ones they are following today.

I kind of like the rear end..very unique. But the front end is boring as hell... the Max, Ultima, and Sentra all look alike up front. The Max should also have HID's like the I30. The grill is just to round and big...

1. Wheelwell gap
2. Grill
3. Stance (Needs to be lower)
4. Lights (Blue like Audi/Acura)
5. Exhaust Tip (Check the Chrysler 300M/LHS tips)

Otherwise it's hot. I love the rear end and rear lights. Actually.....

6> Rear lights (Same shape, but Altezza/IS style colors)

Thats it
