Check this out and you decide

While on my break in school, I decided to look on google to see if there were any spy photos of the next generation Maxima. Unfortunately, I did not. But I did find this.....

According to car and driver, it is the 2013 Altima. When I looked at the tail light, I almost It looks like the Maxima's tail light except it's not LED. Also the trunk and rear bumper looks similar in shape. What do you guys and gals (if any) think???

now i think people are going to mistake maxima owners for altima owners (i am not hating on altima owners its a mistake a lot of people make for some reason) but it gets annoying after awhile

Now I hate myself for removing the "Maxima" badge. Why does Nissan have to put down Maxima owners everytime??? The 8th gen Maxima better look better than this.

Lmaoo, this will never get close to the looks or feel of the maxima. I will personally make sure of that. And don't ask me how because I haven't exactly figured that part out yet.

Not a bad looking car. Does it look like a Maxima? a lil bit, but after all it is a Nissan and the Z and Current Maxima set way for the Next gen of styling in the Nissan Brand. Dont be suprised if the next sentra also looks like the Maxima. I dont understand the hate. Wait till Hyundia copies it.

From Nissan or from a website? The plates at the dealership is a rip off.
BTW did anybody recently purchase a maxima.org sticker?? I've seen them on Ebay but I don't know if that guy is still making them.

Take a look at the spy photo, and the other photo. Look at the rear glass area of the rear door and the little quarter glass window behind the door. It looks very similar, if not the same.

I got it on EBay. Glossy black frame with Maxima written in silver. It was $7 so if it sucks it wasn't that much of a waste.

Here are some shots just taken of it. Folks sorta new to the Max this has been the trend for the last 10 yrs with the Altima /Max. It takes some cues from Max, then in a few yrs Max moves to a new Gen then a few yrs later Alti takes some cues from it again..... http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/...py-photos-news

Clicked on the link and saw the interior. Looks like a mini IS 250 interior IMO. Thank good Nissan didn't decide to copy the current Maxima interior. I would of I'm keeping mine till it becomes a rust bucket but who knows when that will be. At least 2013 Altima owners won't need a stillen lip. I like the way the front bumper is designed tho. I wonder how that would look on the 7th gens.

I suck at photoshop but I took the 2013 Altima front bumper and placed it on a Max. Looks kinda ricey.
