Looks promising but you know we are going to have a ton of questions.

 

Looks like it, at least the tail lights look better and the stock wheels if that's what they'll use.

 

looks the same to me

 

i said the same..but we won't know until it's unveiled but still it sure does look different

It's too covered IMO, but it appears very German like; the lines in general look very nice.

 

I don't know. Kind of looks like the shape of the old Buick Aurora!

 

Who here wants nissan to stop trying to make every car look like a 350z?

I don't know I have not liked a single new car design for years now. The only one that has come back to the playing field of a good looking car is the new Mercedes C-Class

 

oh dear...it looks big

 

you're doing a little better, BUT

It's still huge!!!

Guess I'll be sticking with the 5.5gen...maybe GTR later on

 

i dont see anything but a checker board

 

you just can't let me win can you..

 

It looks alright. The rims are ugly.

 

Still a boat...

 

anyone think it look like the new jaguar xf from the back?

 

Hmmm, this sketch may be true after all then huh. http://www.autoincar.com/sketch-leak...r-coupe-sedan/

It resembles that very much.

 

It's almost exactly like that sketch.

 

Wtf nissan stole one of my drawings from my highschool calculus class trash can!

Seriously it looks like something i sketched up, looks good for a boat!

 

I'm reserving my judgment until the wraps come off. Come on man, have faith in Nissan. the tail light looks kinda like the altimas. I just hope its not a clear lens. The side profile looks nice though, especially with the Tl-like line on the doors.

 

I have a feeling I won't like the 7th gen...

 

Will it float on water if flipped onto the roof?

 

That sketech looks like the new altima to me, at least from the side.

 

Your're kidding about the new C-Class being good-looking right? That thing is just ugly. Too many creases, to many lines, andjust too damn busy. It looks like it should have been in the Transformers movie.

And all those complaining about the 2009 Maxima, how many of you complained about the 6th gen and still bought it? I know I did. All it took was 1 test drive.

 

Thew new c-class is sexy.

 

a sketch of a max sitting slant like a mercades better be coming in RWD or somethin.

 

I'm sure it will Nissan wouldn't make their cars to not float on water if they weren't boats! ...

 

It's gonna be big. That's why they call it the flagship.

 

eww, sucks

 

undecided.

 

about? buying it? You don't even know what it looks like how can you justify that, lol.

 

they just gettin uglier and uglier........

1st and 2nd gen were decent styling for their era. boxey but sleek.

3rd gen was the first of the 4DSC sport/family sedan - when they decided to go in the sport direction. best part about these was the flat red taillight.

4th gen were better than the 3rd, but still looked flat and wide. slightly more agressive styling, but still chunky. best part about these was the grill. worst part was the tail.

5th gen is the peak of all of nissans products over the years. very sporty and agressive while still having the luxury and ammenities maximas were known for. the grill is decent but the tail is beautiful. i would own one of these if i could afford it.

6th gen was a disaster appearance wise. looked like they were designed by a senior citizen. huge clunkey rear end, disgusting grill. it tried to imitate all the other midrange sedans and failed. the best part about these is the tail lights and even those are lacking.


ive drawn up a graph in case my nonsensical rambling was too difficult to follow

 

thankfully enough people disagree with you. I always like all gens. reason i bought the 6th. IMO the 6th was the first to stick out from other cars appearence wise. The others easily blend in with the rest.

everyone just needs to accept the fact the way the industry works. each model gets upgraded each year until it bumps up to the next category.
Versa = old Sentra
Sentra = old Altima
Altima = old Maxima
Maxima = Nissan/Infiniti

 

After five full years (the 6th gen had its public introduction in Jan 2003) in which to cogitate over the styling of all Maxima generations, I honestly feel the 6th gen was a definite 'hit'. Folks are still buying this 6th gen style five years later, and it still catches eyes and approving nods in its last model year. Hard to beat that.

6th gen styling a disaster? Nissan will take any disaster that sells 132,000 copies its first year. Their plan was to move the 6th gen (and all subsequent Maximas) upscale, putting the Altima in the 'mass sales' (250K) category and aiming for around 80K Maxima sales. I would feel they succeeded rather well.

I absolutely love the styling (and everything else) of my extremely reliable 6th gen, and will really really have a hard time letting it go for a 7th gen, which inevitably, I will eventually do.

 

Reality...

 

your graph > my graph

 

Yeah, and mine's definitely not biased either

 

6th gen to me looks like someone smashed into the back end of it, and nissan was just like "ah what the hell we'll leave it like that"

the new car still looks bulky like 6th gen, but i'll keep up my hopes

i think 5th gens are the best in terms of looks for sure

 

I'm sorry, but the grill on the 06 model Maxes is horrid.
