I've added more photos. This time the dealership had some Merlots and a Tungsten Blue. Plus, I took a photo of some of the priors and a price sheet... look out!

The emblems on the SE should've been "black chromed".

IMO, the new tails look better on lighter colored cars.

I agree that the emblems should be blacked out. Also, the tail lights should have two options so you can get dark ones on dark cars and chrome ones on light cars.

I happen to like the front end of my 2k1 AE SE better than these.

On a related front, I saw a truckload of new Altima's this morning on the way to work. Verrrryy Nice looking.

I know I will get flamed for this but after taking a first look and walk around of both the 02 Maxima and 02 Altima, I would have to say I am happy with my 99...any change in my optimum choice would be a Black AE 01 model of which there are two at my local dealer right now...although I am mor einclined to keep mine.

Re: Thoughts

I just came back from VOB Nissan. They had an Altima SL sitting out front. Very nice. Looks better in person. The rear lights are very large though.

Thanks again, Rarity for the pics. The Merlot looks sweet can't wait to see that on a SE in person....But the dealer trying to get more money by charging for so-called "Marketing Adjustment" now that's Bull*hit !

It's too bad they didn't upgrade the build of the emergency brake.. (I hate that I can see the plastic molding marks!)

I love the "Marketing adjustment" ..

I had shorts on... I thought that was enough. Especially since I was washing my car. Although I washed it in the morning while it was still cool, cool here is 80 degrees. Hurry up cold-fronts!!!

Yoooo Guy ... There is something I REALLY REALLY want from what I see in those Pics.

Can you PLEASE See if you can get me that FRONT Licence Plate Thingy with the FROG on it?????

Ask if they sell it or if they can just give one to you for free ... I really want it!

Im not really felling the new taillights. I like everthing else but they just dont do it for me, I would end up putting my 2k lights on it if I ever had a new one. I dont even like how the turn signal is yellow again either i like mine clear. Just wanted to put my 2 cents
My lights-
2002 lights-

Are you being serious? Sarcasm and truth go hand in hand sometimes. If you really want it though, email me @ i302000@hotmail.com and I'll see what I can do.

I love the look of the 4th gen. Maxima like your '99. I bought a 2001 model because I prefered the look of the 2001 to the 2002. The 2002 may have more power, but I still have to look at it every day.

As for the Altima, I don't care for it. The tail lights are too big and the shape is less aggressive than the Max. I hope the 2003/2004 Max does not come out looking like the Altima.
