I have an 06 max ( duh ), I was thinking I would buy an 07 max if it had color screen ( non navi ). Working blue tooth ( with CID ), The smart key and other things...

Am I stupid for giving up my max for an 2007 if they had those items?

All those things would be nice...but I would not want to take a big loss on mine! But I don't think you're stupid for considering it.

I have Navi in my '05. I wouldn't buy an '07 unless it had center mirror position memory, less torque steer, better turning radius, better looking grille, self locking doors, doors unlock when you pull the handle, DVD screens for rear passengers, radio stays powered on until you open the door to exit, more station memory on the radio, no "accept" lawyer screen on the navi, audio info screen, average fuel economy with each trip distance with a sort of pause option, side mirrors have an auto retract setting, and the homelink would turned off with the key.

That should be enough feature improvements to get me back in the dealership!

So why did you even buy the car? You had to like something about it. Im sorry but that list is a little too long for someone who really knows what he wants in a car.

Likes? Power from the VQ engine, good MPG, dual-climate AC, Bose sound system, roomy interior, plenty of trunk space, comfortable seating, priced better than competitors, "Toosh toasters", steering wheel heater, good ride, sunroof, nice handling... It goes on.

My list of things that I'd like to change might be long, but I bought the exact car that I wanted to buy. And it's the car that I expect to own for 10 years at least. Sure, there's things that I would change but they don't take away the fact that this is the best car in its class on the market. IMHO.

The question was posed, would I buy an '07 if it had better features. Considering that I just bought my car 3 weeks ago, lets be real, my list would be long because my car is still very new to me. I'm going to want to see a serious reason why I would trade-in and go up-side-down on my value. I wouldn't go back simply for a color screen and blue tooth!

I agree with everything he said.

No, I would also need to see a HP increase as well as a possible AWD option. If not I will wait for the 7th Gen, I'm thinking the next one will be more of a 6.5 Gen. Not enough of an overhaul being done to consider it the next Gen, at least from what I've seen with regards to the pix circulating.

I agree with #11.
I would cut my lease short for;
Improved 0-60 / 0-100mph times - it just seems like the competition (V6 accord / 07 Camry / Mazda 6 v6 6spd / Avalon ) has pretty much closed the gap.
AWD as an affordable option
Sky view that opens opens like a sunroof
Standard VSC
A ?nicer looking dash

Absolutely not. If the 07 has features you want that badly and you weren't concerned about the extra cost, why not? Go for it...

I am currently waiting to see what they will do for the 07 Max. Have an itch for a new vehicle, but I have decided to wait to see what Nissan, Infiniti and the competition come up with for the 07 models. I would only consider a 07 Max if it has more power (at least 25hp) AWD option, and some nice new anemities. Will see if Nissan will deliver or not.
