Myself and JoesMax took a trip out to a dealer by us today, the same dealer I took my test drove at yesterday. After Joe took a ride in a nice Sterling Mist '02, the salesman led us to the back lot where he had 7 2002's sitting there. He let us run wild in there, taking pics and stuff.. all the keys were in the ignition too (very tempting) Here are some of the pics, including the famous White 2002 that everyone wants to see


here's the white 2002 rear.. check out the pretty taillights

 

here's another of the white

 

here's w/ HIDs on

 

here's one of the majestic blue

 

Oooooo..very nice. Now are those 16" or 17" 7 spoke wheels on the GLE's?

 

the GLE's rims are 17's and i personally think they look hot... the test drive was amazing, it was a monster, they had a GLE with the sticker price of 27k thats not bad... i want one real bad now

 

The white is sharp, and the clear tail lights are not as noticeable. Hate to see it but those lights do not look good on dark cars. The Mist/Sand color one looks decent also.

 

I didn't realize that the majestic blue was so dark. It looks almost black in the picture.

 

its not as dark as it looks in that pic... its the same majestic blue as the 2k1 AE

 

Finally a pic of the 02 tails on white!!! I'm stoked! Looks like I'll be making a call to you know who. Went to the dealership yesterday and saw the 02, but it was on a black SE. But thanks A LOT for the pics! I really appreciate it. That has made my decision right there.

 

I noticed that on the first pic, the GLE has only rear mud flaps. I like how you can get the side sills on the GLE also. At first, I thought it was only available on the SE. I love that Glacier Pearl one. I just hope it is the same color as Icelandic Pearl. I agree with you, the rims on the GLE looks great and classy with the machined finish. Looks great at night because of the shine The slight premium on a loaded GLE Vs a loaded SE 3.5 V6 Altima is all worth it.

 

That big hamburger in the front still bugs me. Nice pics though!

 

The only thing with the side sills is that they don't really bring the car out toward you like the AE ones. They are just kinda there for decoration so to speak, but I also noticed that Quests with the running boards only have the rear splash guards too. Maybe they haven't made the front ones for the 02 yet?

 

I think Nissan just dug into their parts bin and stuck on some 00-01 I30t side sills.


BTW, has anyone seen a 02 GXE? I haven't yet and I would like to know how the rims look like. Pics? Please post.

 

the salesman told me they're phasing the GXE's out

if someone comes in looking for a base model maxima, he said they're gonna try to push a loaded altima on them..

 

Man, I so want the majestic blue... I want it, if it was a woman I would make love to it...

Also, how do the HID's look in real life? Are they nice and purple? They don't look too special in the pic.

 

Those are them nice purdy polished wheels. Any pics of the interior?

 

Once again I still love my 2k
The 02s just look weird to me

Just give me the engine and the 6 speed tranny

 

i guess it makes sense for them to sell a fully loaded altima rather then a gxe max because the altima isnt too far behind anymore only 15 hp on the V6... plus when the max grows up and has RWD, it will be a more expensive and classy car and i wouldnt be surprised if they changed the models.. maybe like just the GLE and then a special edition or something... also it was hard to tell with the HID's cause it was daytime..

 

I have a Majestic Blue anniversery Edition! The color is amazing though i am ****ed that i thought I would be one of the very lucky few to get the Maxima ever in Majestic BLUE!!!
