Nice catch!

I especially enjoyed the part about them slowing down from 80 to 30! :laugh: What a bunch of tards!

Now ... I'm liking the side profile .. but that front & rear ... uggh! I like the G35 rear better than that!

they've been had

:rolleyes: it's a good thing I keep a barf bag handy.

Me likes it very soooo much.... :D

I also like to brake hard from 80 to 30 when people take pix of my car! It gives my rotors a nice workout! :p

G :cool:

The front is ok, the back is hidious, but the side ain't bad at all. Looks like it's got big wheels, 18's maybe.:gotme:

you are gonna get kidnapped

Thanks for sharing but you really should have sold these pics to an auto mag or something!

Great shots!

ugly as hell

Remember this word .... prototype!
l8tr -- SS

Looks like I'll be staying away from the sedans from now on...blech!

In the words of Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons, "Worst prototype ever."

They better do something else with the front.

Guys, it *is* a prototype. Of course they're going to make it look as ugly as they possibly can. Almost all protoypes i've seen are either clad with ugly vinyl, weirdo paint or excess panels.

If anything, this is probably the best looking prototype i've seen to date. Even the Z350 didn't look as good during the first couple of proto's.

I think I like it....I'll need more pics....GO BACK NOW...and take more pics......:laugh: j/k...nice pics though....good work peter parker

I realize its a prototype but it kind of threw me off with not having the vinyl all over it.

Front looks like a KIA. Very ugly!

Side profile looks exactly like the Alty you can see where they taped the C-Pillar. I'll bet that thing in the middle of the grill is just to hide it also. Everyone seems to hate it, but it's not the size of a Crown Vic like most of you thought it would. I think the car has potential, the front air dam needs a much larger opening and to be honest, I don't think Nissan will get the tails right on the 6th gen this time around either. The drive train is what will make my final decision. I need to see more pics before I pass judgement. Great job BrianV..........

Wow, that thing is ugly as sin! I'll take the altima, even with the cheesy interior:)

Watch Brian's web site disappear due to technical difficulties . . .

I think its a pretty decent start, some stuff i like some i didnt. Id rather hear what the drivetrain layout is....it has a nice side shot though.

My interior is bigger than a Crown Vic on the inside. Nice compact dimensions on the outside. That new Maxima must be the size of a Continental on the inside, but just a wee bit bigger than the new Altima on the outside.

DW

should've made them pull over and open the hood.
or just car jack them! :laugh:

Good clear shots of front, side, and rear = big money from car magazines





or ... lawsuit by Nissan.

:p

The car was in public, so they cant do anything...
SELL EM!

The dimensions of the car are perfect IMO. I don't know how well it will handle, but i'm a straight line acceleration type of guy anyway. I see alot of potential in those spy shots and Soundmike is right, most prototypes are hideous, while here you can see the true lines of the car very well, the front end could use a little tweaking, I think its needs a slighty larger grill and as for the rear....well we all know Nissan. :goofy: Personally, if this car has a great suspension/drivetrain and is not too pricey, (a little over 30K is my limit on any Maxima) this might be Maxima #4 for me. If not hello G35 Sedan or Audi A6.

I just showed the pics to my friend that works for Nissan Corporate here. He said most likely that is just a test mule. Test mule's are combinations of chassis, driveline and component types used to test those systems. For example, a future engine for a 350Z may be installed in an Altima chassis for testing.

Oops, pushed submit too quick... He also said Toyota and Honda national headquarters are both within 5 miles of the Nissan HQ in LA.

And just when you thought the Max couldn't get uglier :bawling:

NICE photoshop! :D

nasty car.

i guess its m3 time when my 2k retires.

:D

yak is that a daewoo/altima/kia :bawling:

It looks like a butchered version of the 02' Altima.
It's fugly as hell. The grill I think kills it.

Not bad, it looks like a prototyped Q45.

i would say its the future altima

A lot of you guys seem to be missing the fact that this car is just a prototype, it is not suppose to be a glamer show :D

CANT you guys see the "not so good" photoshoping done to the rear tails and the front grill?

I think this was suppose to be a JOKE.

LOL, I knew Yugo was getting bigger, but daaaaaaaaaaamnnnn...
:D

i didn't bother reading the whole post seeing as it got so long so fast BUT the rear looks like a lincoln continental:confused: the rest looks pretty deezl.

i can see this design going somewhere. somewhere good. :D
