I love that ad! The car looks awesome. I could have sworn the guy shifted to 3rd though, shifting to 5th at the speed he was going whould not have caused such hard exeleration, I could be wrong though.

IMO the 2k2 looks better..

I believe the guy on the horse is supposed to be the Grim Reaper, and the ad is basically the Maxima as we know it saying (puts on best Monty Python voice) "I'm not dead yet!!"

I saw the commercial too. It seemed the Maxima was either unusually loud, or accelerating hard (or holding high revs). It was clearly a 2-3 shift, but correct me if I am wrong, but if shifting at redline, isn't the 2-3 shift near 60MPH? Can a horse run 60MPH? I don't think so. Well, it was the grim reaper, so it may have been a magic horse.

I think the commercial is stupid, but I have little love for Nissan anyway......

I'm not a 5-speed know-it-all by any means, but he was shifting into 5th; it was too far right to be going into 3rd........but it was staged anyway.

I liked their previous commercials better....the new direction seems iffy to me......

3rd gear or 5th gear...doesn't matter. That horse is hauling *** to be chasing a Maxima at that speed.

But yeah I think the chasing the sunset ad was better than this one.

Geez you guys!

Heh yeah that horse is the Grim Reaper. Which means that the new Maxima is SOOOOO fast, that it can outrun death! I don't know of any other car that can outrun death, that's not an easy feat. At least, that's how I took the commercial. I liked it though.

LOL....FINALLY someone gets it right. He wasn't drag racing the maxima....he's trying to kill it. The damn car is just to fast even for death.

The irony is that going too fast (and not being able to safely stop) is what gets people killed.
