I think pictures do not justify this car at all. I have a little trouble accepting the headlights as well, and the front when you are looking at it straight on is kind of bland. I took a look at this at the Nissan dealer the other day and when you see it in person and take a good walk around the car it looks great IMO. Nissan has done a good job bringing back the Maxima of old and getting rid of that stupid bubble shape of the last gen. In person it looks like it should have an Infiniti badge on it.

Anyway, nice car...

i work for nissan north america... the car is beautful for a nissan well built its a HUGE diff from the old.. it has a real sport package... lowing springs and susp... the exus note sound real good... its just the CVT tranny sucks.. they made it better in this car.. but it`s very very slow off the line.. i wish they made a 6 speed for the car.. it really need`s it.. with 290 hp and 278 in tour... its screaming for a 6 speed...

+1, and those wheels don't look right either. I think I can see what they were trying to do with the lines of this car, but missed IMHO....:thumbsdown:

The Maxima has come a long way... I hope the new one looks better in person than in pictures.
