2011 Maxima 30th AE possible???
For the Nissan Maxima Fans...something to think about.
anyone help but wonder what nissan may have in stock for a 30th anniversary edition maxima for 2011?? My best guess on release date is..2011 models should be hitting lots in August.
I have two 5th gen maximas...and the ae 2001 guys love to represent their cars...10 years later in 2011 what additional touches do you guys think nissan will make available for 2011?? special edition color schemes on leather?? rims?? additional body cues?? decals, inside and out?? maybe a 6 speed manual!!?? rwd?? awd??
Lets get your feedbacks and opinions!

Good question........IDK, I do know that Nissan has added 3 new exterior colors to the 2011 line-up and they have added tinted headlight lenses for the SV version. I'm assuming that they will probably add engravements into the seats and probably a special color scheme to the leather like you said. Different chrome rims and chrome triming may be an option as well. The main question is will they do any upgrade to the engine like they did in 2001. Maybe an extra 10 to 15 horses. IDK, but I do know that the upgrade from the 3.0L V6 to the 3.5L v6 was a nice upgrade back in 02. We shall see..

personally i doubt they will bother, they don't seem to focus on the maxima as much as they used to.
as for what i'd LIKE to see? same as the 01 AE. Lip kit, blacked out headlights, and special wheels. an exclusive paint color would be pretty neat. And for ****'s sake a freaking 6 SPEED

other Nissan models died still during their prime (240sx/Silvia, Skylines, etc) but it seems like Altimas are staying afloat, and Maximas are dying a slow death. after 4th gens, im sorry but im going are you thinking Nissan

Because the few Maxipads that dealers had that were 6spd's (3 or 4% of production from 02-06) they had a hard time moving off of the lots.....I think from the 1st gen to the 4th gen the 5spds did reasonably well (especially in the 2nd gen SE) and had more produced.....Times starting changing after say 2000 ish.

i didnt know that the dealers had a hard time selling 6spd's, i thought that lots of people wanted one but Nissan didnt produce enough. but then again, Maximas were sporty until 5th gens, and 6th and 7th gens are luxury land yachts

yeah everyones moving on to automatic now. even look at older cars like 240z, 3rd gen Celicas, 1st gen RX-7, etc. it seems like 75% of them were stick and 25% or less were automatic

I know a manager at a local dealership and he's telling me their stopping production on the new Maxima for about 8 months to reevaluate their manufacturing of the CVT transmission because currently it's costing Nissan too much to make the CVT.
#20
Well I do agree that the focus on the maxima hasnt seem to be that great, however, sell for the 7th gen has progree. I know when the 09 was first released, dealers couldnt keep them on the lot...well not here in georgia anyway.
#21
I dont know i am seeing alot of new maxima's around town! And around the area. Hopefully they notice that. Seems to me that the new maxima's are selling pretty good. But that could be an isolated incident. As far as 30 AE awd turbo? LMAO.
#22
No, I think it's pretty much the same everywhere. There are 7th gens all over Nashville. They're a pretty hot commodity right now...

My brother in law works for a Nissan dealership and has his own little side shop where he repairs cars and he was telling me that they did have plans for an Anniversary Edition but wanted to keep the major features under wraps. He did mention an increase in horsepower and LED lighting but didnt mention where. He also stated that the wheels would change and there would be different rear lights and slightly better sound and sound system. I hope he is right. I would love to see a revamped edition. It makes me excited to know that they will at least have something planned for 2013!
In New Orleans, there are nothing but Maximas rolling around. I like to count whenever I see one and keep a tab on them... I always count more than 30 in a day! It's always new ones and I always feel tempted to drive that extra mile to the dealer and just trade mine in. Luckily, I want an FX!

main issue is that Nissan has not gone public with any major media exposure about their plans for the 30th ae. an upgraded sound system and leds, different rims (all mentioned in above post)....all seem to tell me its their attempt to make it more "luxurious" and nothing to make it sporty.
forget ever seeing a 6 speed maxima...rwd? im convinced not going to happen.
