That's right....the next Max is going to be built about 10 mins from where I work.

Too bad it will be an Avalon fighter.



And also too bad quality will probably really go to hell unless the pricepoint of the vehicle is moved up by 10k.

Hey Bill! Do you know the 3.5s have VTCs now!? Now you can hear them tick when they are building them! muhahahaha!

I wonder, does this mean you can get a good deal on a new maxima? I mean how much could the destination charge be? hehe

Not that you would really want one but hell, if it's cheap enough? 3.5 is really interesting to me.

I guess we have to start moving over to the Infiniti line that is still designed and made in Japan! That G35 and I35 is looking better and better every day.

Prove it. Both cars that are considered the epitomy of quality in the class (the Accord and Camry) are made in the US.

i read somewhere a quote from nissan's VP on fresh alloy that the 03/04 max is still going to be "4dsc" and that they have big plans for the new max (not his exact words but from my memory)

Does this meen the all new maxima will be a 2003.5? If they are going into prodution in January that meens they will be on the lot's by Feb.

Now I am going to feel like a idiot buying a 02 max if the new one's comming out so soon.

Nick,

Unfortunately, the people generally resemble that name.

I work in an adjoining suburb of Smyrna called LaVergne.....now there's a name.....

Nashville is reminding me more and more of Chicago it's getting so spread out......there are about 10 little towns surrounding it that are decently sized.

Can't argue with that, Bill.
