I was looking at Nissan's japanese website, and DAMN! You should see all the cars they really have. It seems that almost all their compact and midsize sedans offer AWD too. If only they would bring those to the US, and put Subaru out of business. I think eve nthe Nissan "President", a huge luxo-cruiser with the Q45 engine is vailable with AWD. Imagine that.


Does this one remind anyone of the 4th gen Max? It's called the Nissan Bluebird, and it looks sweet.





And check out the version of the Frontier they offer there. It's a ******* pickup with a nav system. Sweet.

 

I believe the Bluebird is the same car are the Primera...or in the US, the Infiniti G20. In Japan, the Maxima is known are the Cefiro.

 

My friend's parents have a Bluebird and live in Birmingham, England. It's an older one w/ the turbo 4 cyl but it's the same body as the US Stanza. That car looks a little bigger than the Primera. But who knows.

The bluebird is actually related to the altima by engine. But that one looks like 3 different cars.. The kit looks like a G20, The rear looks like a Q45 and the front looks like a 4th gen max...

Sucks how the US does not get half of the cool cars that are available in Japan or Europe.

 

we can blame that on the governments regalations

 

Speaking of cool... well.. ok, maybe not... check out my Maxima (cefiro) station wagon link...

 

Looks tasty...
the last Bluebird I saw was an Australian model, that had the original jelly-bean Altima body, AWD and a SR20DET
wow

This one may be some kind of precursor of the new Altima?
It's supposed to move into current Maxima territory, and that one looks like it could replace teh 4th gen nicely.
