Rank best looking maxima by generation

EDIT: This thread is not a place for people to argue which gen is better or for talking bad about other gens. If you want to do that, do it somewhere else.

Since we now have a 7th gen....
I know most owners are partial to their gen so I would like to see the outcome with all the gen owners.

There is a poll for each person's favorite then post your order.

Mine (best on top)

5th
4th
7th
3rd
6th
2nd
1st

Well just to drop in my two cents I got it pegged at:

1st: 7th Gen
2nd: 5th Gen
3rd: 3rd Gen
4th: 2nd Gen
5th: 6th Gen
6th: 4th Gen
7th: 1st Gen

i dont think i can rate them all unbiased because it would be based only on looks. Since i only owned a 4th gen and a 5th gen, id put the 4th gen on top, the main reason is that, i liked the steering colomn alot better on the 4th. Maybe thats why the 4th gen is more enjoyable for me to drive than the 5th.

I drive a 6th Gen but I would have to say my other top 2 choices are 5th and 4th, ranked from newest to oldest, older having more miles.

Their are not to many cars I could see myself driving especially older models but the Maxima is one of them, some cars look old especially after a redesigned model or 2 comes out

I always loved how the 4th gens looked, even when I didn't own a Maxima.

7th- This is the hottest in my opinion
6th- More luxury than sport, none the less great looking car.
5th- Great looking from the front, the rear kinda hurts it.
4th- Not bad, reminds me of my 5th gen Accord, I may be partial but i think the accord looked better.
3rd/2nd/1st - They look way too dated at this point.

.......

my list:

3rd Gen (timeless in my eyes)
5.5 Gen
5th Gen/4th Gen
2nd Gen
6th Gen
1st Gen

These are all in stock form, 4th gen and newer, the way they look stock becomes very "blah" to me, nothing that makes them look out of the ordinary. I think 3rd gens in stock form were quite pretty.

You gotta love the 4th gen, it's the best oveall, but the 5th is just alittle more modern looking. I have both and I can't decide which one I love more. If I could get both brand new again, I'd have to stick with my 98. I love it more than anything. 200K and still rolling.

5th gen hands down. no other gen can compare to the aggressive look on the front end and the beautiful back end.

I had a 4th gen, and then moved up to a 5th gen. And now I have a 4th gen again. 4th gen is the best imo.

GTFO, you are nuts, you are just asking to be flamed, I would rather have either one of my Max's. It makes me sad that I wouldn't even consider buying any Max after 03. 6th gen has a big fat ***, and makes me want to take a nap. Seriously, I have a pic of one that I look at before I go to bed, it helps me sleep...

I drive a fourth gen, which I think look amazing. I do however think that fifth gen I30's/I35's (I know, not a max, but the same family) look beautiful. Call me partial for the I30 fam, but they are beautiful. Not a real fan for the 6th gen rears, but that's just me. Please don't flame...
