Thinking...

Right now I have an 01 5th Gen Max and I have been thinking about getting a new car. It's between an 06 G35 and an 07 Maxima. I really am loyal to the Maxima family and would not want to leave just like that. It's like I'm walking towards my car when its parked and I see it and I'm like dumbfounded every single time I see the car. It's really hot. I'm thinking about modding the maxima if I were to get it, however the G is faster and similar in price. What do you think I should do guys?

Personally I think the Maxima got way too big and heavy for its own good. Whenever I see a 6th gen I think of it has just a slightly sportier version of a Toyota Avalon.

Just by the way things are in the cars, the 2005 Altima feels a heckuva lot more like a Maxima to me than the newer Maximas.

Personally, I would definitely get the G35.

New Maxima is hot!
G35 is a sports car.

Which do you really want, luxury performance or sports car?

I want to enjoy the car through all of the aspects. I don't race, but sometimes we all have our moments where we just accelerate. I want to be the winner of that. Other than that, I'm an everyday driver. The 01 max is fine for me, I just want something a little better and definitely faster.

I agree, the new Maxima is hot. I believe he said an 07 Maxima though not the 09.

Just FYI I think the 07 is CVT only wheras you can get a conventional automatic or manual in the g35.

If you could get the 4 door G35 you could do the best of both worlds and get the option of AWD.

Is the '08 Versa out of the question?

The G35 is RWD and is available with a stick. It's quite sad the '09 Max is only available with a CVT... seems to be castrating the driving experience a bit.

It's your call, but I'd lean towards the Infiniti.

If I had to choose it would be the G35. You should consider the 07 g35 though.
