$25,000 loaded SE versus $33,000 loaded SE
Which would you choose?
ps: if you want to pick on the prices noted, the trim levels indicated, etc, save your energy by creating your own thread. Otherwise, it would be interesting to find out why you would pick Altima over Maxima or vice versa. Thx.

which SE are you talking about? 2.5 or 3.5? anyways it really doens't matter I voted for the altima, really getting tired of the rear axle, give me a 350hp maxima for $30000 I'll still pick the altima. You can also nos,SC,whatever the altima with the extra $ and you can easily kick the new maxima + theres more interior room!

not to sound like a heretic or anything, but if the maxima se didn't have a 6 speed manual, i'd go for an acura tl type-s. its a better value and offers so much more, and its all standard too.

Well I actually voted for the Max yesterday, but the more I look at the pictures on nissannews.com, the more I want the Altima. I love Maximas, always have, but looking at the modifications to the 02's it is clear that the maxima is going luxury. The new grill/logo is too pronounced, and although I like the clear rears, the grey paint inside should have been silver like the altimas. I also wonder if the maxima is getting the 3.5 as an afterthought to carry it through to 03'. Dont get me wrong, it's a great addition, but if you're Nissan, and are designing a new model for next year, how much money do you spend working the kinks out of the 02'? Remember when the Jeep Grand Cherokee got the 5.2L V8 for the first time, and the rear ends kept blowing up under the added power??? Thats what I worry about with the 02'. I figure I'll wait for the 03' altima, with the kinks out, probably a few extra horses once the maxima is new, and i'll be happy

In my opinion the new Altima is better then the new max in just about every way, then add a 5-10K saving? I meen come on, who in there right mind whould pick the new max over the new Altima?
Right now I am contimplating getting a killer deal on a 2001 Max or paying a little more and getting a 2002 Altima? Hmm... If I can get a unloaded V6 Altima for under 23K I will go with the Alty.

it also depends on the aftermarket for these cars. Like the new Sentra Se-r will have a nice following but what about the Altima? Or the 3.5 max?
As what I would get? I dont know really. All about the cost. But 20 hp is not worth an extra 10 grand. I am hoping the 3.5 altima would be in the 20Grand to 23 Grand. But it wont.

If this is true and if nissan repeats itself in history, it will SUCK, because all Canadian SE model comes fully loaded with leather,sunroof, etc... and my hopes of getting a 3.5 will be very very slim.
Also to get HID you have to get sunroof and rear spoiler package, that sucks. American SE version will have leather package,sunroof package,cold weather package,bose system,ABS(WTF??not standard?this ain't no intergra typeR),and TCS as options
