AWD was predicted.... haha funny
http://www.freshalloy.com/site/cars/...iew/home.shtml

its pretty interesting how back in 03 they so confidently predicted AWD and a 6-speed manual transmission for the all-new 2004 maxima. Well they were right about one of them. Maybey they'll predict a V8 engine and RWD for the next generation Max. I just thought it was interesting to go back in time and take a peek of certain articles on maximas.

Expected competition includes the Audi A6 and some might dare say BMW's 5 series.
That is the funny part.

Nissan NA engineers themselves told me they were expecting RWD V8 on the '09 max ten years ago.
