God dammit...they HAD to screw up something.

The exterior doesn't look all that bad, and it looks like I'd have enough right leg room between the wheel and dash, but they just HAD to put in stupid separate "scoops" for each instrument in the instrument panel.

I fricken LOATHE that because it forces you to look and focus your eyes 3 times to see all three groups of guages. I much prefer the unbroken instrument cluster design like in my Accord and the Maxima, Camry, etc where you can look once, focus once, and see everything you need to either dead on or off the side of your view.

The last car I drove with instruments like that was a rental pos Grand Am and it annoyed me to no end.

I'm still gonna take one for a test drive - who knows, maybe I'll like it.

Gotta love the looks on that-and the shifter looks like some type of tiptronic for those who prefer autos.

I've seen a close-up of that shifter. It's just your standard 4-spd auto only in a more luxish gated design - looks pretty cool

Why can someone not make a replacement rear taillight assembly like this for the current Maxima. The 2002 Altima has it right, even the 2002 Maxima rear lights seem to be missing something !!!!!!

I hate fake reviews. I don't even think the reviewer drove it. Probably generated it from Nissan press releases.
