Aka next Maxima concept?
http://jalopnik.com/the-nissan-sport...urn-1500264483
Get that weak shit off my track
Am I the only one that doesn't understand why Nissan carries the Maxima and the Altima? Get this: the Altima has *more* interior volume and trunk space than the Maxima.
Maybe the above 4DSC is meant to replace both?
Looks nice.
Whoomah!
The Maxima and Altima have always been in contention. They fixed the situation for a little while in the early '00s - the Maxima was clearly bigger and more luxurious - but that fell apart pretty quickly.
I have always liked the Maxima - like, all of them - but it's a car I never seem to have the right situation to own. I am half-heartedly shopping for one right now as I think they may be on the list with Benzes and Volvos to replace the PT Cruiser this summer.
Ever since the Altima got biggie-sized, the Maxima has basically been the higher-appointed model, more sound deadening and standard options and such.
The Altima starts as a 4-cylinder car @ $22k, the Max is only available with the V6 starting @ $31k.

Looks nice, but as most modern cars, a bit too big and tall for my taste
Looks boring to me. It could be a Corolla.
Rather dull.
This is how I feel about Nissan as a whole right now. They have turned into the Toyota appliance maker of the early 2000's. There isn't a single car from them I can buy my fiancee right now with a manual tranny (her requirement) except the base model sentra.
?
Versa (Note and sedan)
Cube
Sentra
370Z
XTerra
Frontier
Personally (and I'm not just saying this) I like the current design language at Nissan. It's clean without being too dull. This concept looks pretty good to my eye.
Current Altima would make a great road trip car. Those seats, and 38+mpg highway. Great combo.
Ok should have clarified, I meant normal car, not crossover cute-utes or wtf-mobiles (juke/cube) she despises all of those. I'm still waiting on nissan to take juke engine in the throw it in a light rwd car.
Versa, I missed that you could get them in a manual in the low model. the soon to be FIL has a sedan, thing is appliance to the max, painfully slow and hideous to look at it, I would take a low mileage B13, B14 and B15 sentra over one of these.
Sentra, I do like the styling, but again base model is the only thing that gets the manual, I cant bring myself to ever buy a base model anything unless it was to be a track car.
370Z, I almost sold my xterra and 240sx for a nismo last year, but I couldn't bring myself to give up 2 for 1.
Xterra/Frontiers are pretty much the same design as the '05 and will probably be going away soon, but I like that they still have the 6 speed in them.
I don't hate this concept, but it doesn't get me excited. I keep looking for reasons to trade the xterra in, but Nissan hasn't given me any good ones.
