Anyone else see the carmax commercial with the seventh gen max in it. Modded front grill and all lol

 

Not really modded, just had the badge removed so it didn't become a free Nissan commercial.

 

I realize that it was actually an attempt at humour. I suppose it fell short.

 

Haha I saw this too and wanted it! Too bad we can't just take off the emblem and it make it look like that :/

 

Yeah, my wife and I looked at each other and smiled when we saw this.

We also saw the Kia ad for the K900, and smiled again, because we knew Kia had copied a few 7th gen Maxima styling trends in designing that vehicle, and that the starting price was over $60,000. The K900 may be a very fine luxury vehicle, but it will be a difficult sell in the U.S., where the name Kia is associated with econoboxes and lower end vehicles with a good warranty.

We will wait for the 2016 Maxima and save a bundle.

 

Yeah I thought the same thing when I saw the KIA commercial but laughed because they copied a dated (but well styled) car. Don't get me wrong as I feel the 7th styling is still relevant when compared with many other vehicles out on the road. It's just that the 8th gen is practically upon us.

 

I didn't see this. I wonder if it's on YouTube. Anyone can still point out a Maxima w/ or w/o an emblem!

 

^^ the super bowl commercial in question

 

But in the puppy version of that commercial they use a sonata badged and all.

 

The puppy version wasn't played during the super bowl

 

Wow so I just looked up this KIA and it basically looks like they coppied a 7 series BMW to me... Looks like they just made the front and rear more slanted... If they are going to try and sale something for 60k they might as well make a seperate luxury brand. With financing I know there will be a few suckers who buy it.....
