Good evening everyone, just wanted to get a general opinion on something I've been thinking about for a while. Ever since my mom bought her 2009 Maxima I've looked at it and said to myself that this thing could look so much better. It's advertised as a " four door sports car" so why not make it more sporty? This car is under the same roof as the GT-R and I think the Maxima's front end architecture (not necessarily the entire car) would benefit from that type of design. The Stillen kit is great but, I think this car has a much greater potential.

I'm currently an engineering student, and a class I'm currently in has put me in a position where my designs could be actually realized. So I would appreciate everyone's time in just stating their opinion on whether there's a place in the market for this idea.

 

I'd be interested to see what you have in mind. I'd lean more toward the previous model GTR for design inspiration (R34) but that's just me. The A35's front end actually reminds me of that more than the R35.

The 4DSC moniker works for me and yes, the car could look/feel sportier, but it can retain it's classy feel too.

Other "4DSCs" that catch my eye, have nice curves, aggressive looks, and the power and performance to boot: Subaru WRX (esp. 2014 concept), Mercedes C Class Sport, Mitsubishi Lancer, Aston Martin Rapide S, Audi A7, Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S, etc. The list goes on

 

My 2 cents.... there is a very limited place in the market with the 7th max and not enough return on investment unless you were to sell your designs (for multiple makes and vehicles) to companies that have the facilities to manufacture like Stillen.
I like your thinking!
