Some highlights:

-It's smaller than the outgoing model (shorter in length and height, but a bit wider)
-290hp/261 lb ft of torque
-Revised CVT w/ manual mode and paddle shifters
-It's FWD, at least w/ the gasonline engine, but reduced torque-steer is promised (rumors hint at the fact that the diesel will get AWD and possibly the GT-R's dual-clutch transmission since the CVT cannot handle the torque output of the diesel)
-Available heated and cooled drivers seat w/ manual thigh extension
-Optional dual moonroof
-18" wheels standard, 19" optional

More details from http://www.nissanusa.com:

-CVT offers 4 driver-selectable modes
-2 types of leather will be offered
-Rear armrest has built-in audio & a/c controls

[hondachik]

gawd thats hawt. i'd do it.:idb:

[BlkCD5]

Nice, but it seems like nissan won't kill the tailight extending in the rear quarter panel design just like the altima.

[redpanda]

looks very sharp! numbers look satisfying and the interior reminds me of the M35. Torque steer ftw lol

I think its fantastic inside and out BUT no manual=not a real Maxima.

[Andy_013]

Not feeling the front

[bigasian]

still fwd??

[AnthonyF]

pros and cons...

too many lines everywhere. Nothing lines up. Looks like a damn puzzle piece.

[Kamikaze]

The front looks like a QX56. Yuck.

[tron]

wtf is nissan thinking with these headlights....:thinking:

[itsnotarex]

It's real nice, I must say. The power output makes me wish they would offer it with a good old 6spd manual. That **** would be fun as hell.

[VQ35 Star]

ehh, it looks like a bunch of cars jumbled into one.
except for the headlights, got to have at least one thing different.

[C-loS109]

i hate the headlights and how the whole front looks.

[dorin48]

And the 2010 model will get a diesel option!

[ThAixGuYx2k7]

i hate the headlights and how the whole front looks.

Yeah, those head lights are funky looking. I like the rest of it though.

[Stormhammer]

sorta looks like A Scion tC

[Alan®]

sorta looks like A Scion tC
:lmfao: . Looks ok but IMHO, with the interior it's starting to appear to me that nissan is really starting to fall into the same habbit(SP?) that the domestic makers have been in for a long time which is making every interior look the ****ing same.

[Stormhammer]

lol I just realized I made my post right after a tC owner LOL

[AnthonyF]

looks like it has boomerangs for headlights
OHHH SNAP it does!

290hp...pump ur brakes...but i dnt like it

[Ran]

WTF @ Headlights?

The front bumper, with it's boxy grills and what-not, reminds me of the Scion tC.

Overall, not bad but the front needs a little work.
