no. Nismo does not really fit with the Maxima image of upscale luxury performance imo





edit - I am on the fence now. To me, NISMO means racing. NISMO means performance only, for the sacrifice of luxury. I don't really see those things coupled with a Maxima, especially if you take a look and actually see what they did to the juke NISMO and the 350/350Z NISMO. More sport, less luxury.


HOWEVER - the new Nismo Maxima sure would make a splash...especially since Maxima is due for an all new model in 2015. Debut with the 8th gen NISMO maxima or something in one of the upcoming auto shows, that'd generate a bit of a buzz.

Not me. The Maxima is no longer the "4DSC" it used to be.

same here. I can't stand the CVT they put in the new ones. That's the main reason I'd never buy another Maxima.
