Possibly the Future Maxima body style? Like or Dislike

I've found this image in Google and I'm wondering if this is the future Maxima body style that Nissan is going to release. I think it looks awesome IMO. The wheels look sick also.

Can't be, there's minimal wheel gap.

It's a good start, but slightly small, no? Looks to be more of an Altima size.

Edit:

I was right, I think. It looks similar to this.

Very cohesive. I'd prefer a slightly more muscular back end.

I think the window trim and the grill needs to be gloss black. The rims need to be standard gun metal for that stealthy appearance. Everything else looks awesome. IDK LOL it's only a concept but still I like this design.

Folks,

This is not maxima, they called this ellure is a new concept they are coming up with.. I saw a video about how they decided to bring a new nissan to the nissan family and also the reasons why. Ask google for nissan ellure and you will see the results and probably the video, too.
They said it's was designed for professional woman that likes sedan and sport look all together.

If you watch the video you will see that it looks like the scion tc as ghotz said, because it was designed to be a small sedan with a sport look.

Nose too short, like its made for a tiny 4 or hybrid. The engine would be partially under the cowl.

This has so been discussed about 2 years ago, really you guys should do a search before creating a thread for something that was already done long ago.

It is called the NISSA ELLURE CONCEPT and i doubt that they will be making a maxima off this... It just shows nissans thinking of how they will design most of their cars in the upcoming years.....

I cannot tell if I like it or not.....The interior that is. Looks ridiculously high class, but really star trekish considering it actually looks circular.

Another thing I've noticed too is that I don't think this could ever replace the maxima's look. I cannot possibly seeing this looking "Sporty", maybe extremely expensive or VIP, but just not sporty.

This is def the ellure concept car but it shows the style direction Nissan is going in. I hope it does come out looking similar except the maxima is the flagship so I think it would have to be a bit bigger then the concept. But if it's any indication of their styling design I think I might have to look in to it when it comes out. As of right now I hear it's supposed to be a new design in late 2013 for the 2014 model year but as with everything , nothing is written in stone.

I like it; in fact, if it existed now I'd consider it (being the 'professional woman who likes sporty appearance' or whatever was stated earlier...lol). Is it just me or would the back doors open backwards; that is, away from the center and toward the rear quarter panel? It'd be much easier getting small people in car seats out of cars if they could do away with the center support pillar (which would up the appeal of this car for women).
