Still getting used to the new grill treatment they are working with over there, but it looks like the new TL-AWD will be a good look!

yah, that looks better than the maxima

Infiniti514 · 07-23-2008, 06:28 PM

i like it......the grill is growing on me

the750 · 07-23-2008, 06:34 PM

the grill looks fine. it's a little different, but once you start seeing more of these (the TSX and RL have it too) it'll look good.

the maxima headlights have yet to grow on me

superdds · 07-23-2008, 06:44 PM

the maxima headlights will never grow on me. i'm sorry but it's an ugly car. =(

The Maxima looks good! They always take a while to grown on you. Over the last 18 years that car has probably had the best design consistently of any of the best selling sedans (Camry/Accord/Maxima). There are none that I could say were straight ugly but I don't think I liked any of them at first look. The 1995-99 model comes to mind.. I HATED that car when it first came out, but mostly because I thought the 1989-94 was the best design since sliced bread at the time. I didn't like the 2000 redesign, or the 2004. But those are all cars I would drive even today. Give it some time.. Black/Black!

I dunno man that TL gives me a GM/Caddy sort of feel. I don't like it. I don't like the way Maximas look either.

i would say the 2004 was the only one i didnt like but it eventually, years later, grew on me. i loved the 95-99 and 00-03 design.

Sandman35 · 07-23-2008, 07:50 PM

^^00-03 was the best, but the 04 killed it! it took me until 05 to realize it, but it was the best IMO. They keep getting better

i always liked the early 90's one. with the white face gauges (back then that was SICK!), marketed as the 4 door sports car. i see they are trying that with this new one, but i dont think it quite pulls it off. i hated the mid 90's one back then, but now i think it looks somewhat classy. early 2000's... EHH looked OK. the refresh with the projectors and new tail lights caught my eye for a few months. the 04's had a weird grill that always stuck out to me. overall, the maxima is just barely 'decent' to me. not something id buy, but i can see why it's overall pretty successful.

have you fools seen the Maxima in person or on the road?!?!?!
it's badass.. and you can get it with stock 19's....

funny how a NISSAN is compared to an ACURA.
shouldnt it be NISSAN vs HONDA or INFINITI vs ACURA.

good job Nissan... that Maxima will sell like CRAZY.

msb3079 · 07-24-2008, 09:25 AM

oo yeah and i had an '02... the first year with the 3.5 engine... i had nav and 6-speed... i loved that car.

yes, i've seen it on the road and in a parking lot. the headlights look just as bad in person.
