Very nice car, last weekend, i drove a 2002 TL, and both cars are very similar in many respects, i felt the max felt more 'fun' to drive though. many people criticize the styling, but i though it was rather nice, even though i wonder how it would look in 5 years..

one thing though, i semi-aggresively drove to around 5000 rpm, it didn't quite feel as powerful as the 255hp rating would suggest, it felt just a bit sprightly than hte 225hp TL.. I didn't get to drive the 2001 max for comparison.

anywho, that's just my observation.. has anyone bought a 2002 yet? what kinda deals did you get?
