Left hand drive aussis on East LA?
Today I saw 2 Aussi maximas on the 10 freeway on east LA, they had Michigan plates, and they were manufacturer plates, so this were not privately own, they are debadged the only nissan emblem was the one on the hood, they had plastic film covering the fender and bumper, so they are new, im 90% sure they had Led lights, (dont know if the aussis come with leds allready), I have a short video but cant upload it right now, o yea, and this are Left hand drive!!!

I don't think I'm understanding this right. Are you trying to say that the steering wheel is on the left side of the vehicle?

Either way, that is one FUGLY car. One of the main reasons why my next car won't be a Nissan.

Yes, Aussi maximas are right hand drive (steering wheel on the wrong side of the car ), since this one are LHD, its means that the are not just imports from australia, so nissan is cooking something, here is the page for the aussi max, http://www.nissan.com.au/maxima/

I also notice, no projector lights, as far as I can see the aussis have them.

burn me, but this is what i was thinking before I got to close to the cars.

Lets just hope thats not the design path Nissan is taking with the next Gen Maxima, I see no CLS style to that, my guess is they are testing powertrains with the shell of a car, kinda like the G35 body with the massive exhaust which was the GTR

It looks like the Nissan Teana(aussi Maxima) imported somewhere from Asia where they have lefthand drive cars - i guess like in the Philippines, but i might be wrong
