Again, I think you should have compared the $19,900 starting Altima as a comparison car instead of throwing in a ringer of the Maxima, the larger and much better equipped car in your poll.
This is the reason why the Maxima is a dying breed, it is just outclassed by comparably priced cars, especially when Infiniti is offering up an equivalent car for the same money.
Don't knock my choice for comparable, I was just pointing out how the poll was a little skewed.

Also, I said that I might vote in the direction of the Altima, I really like all of the other cars too, I just haven't been in any of the other three that were fully loaded, but they seem to be good cars as well.
Maxima's start for less than 30k. And I didn't state this (because I would never buy a 4 cylinder car) but I meant to compare only the v6 model accords/camrys/6's etc...which are priced similarly with the maxima!

G's and mercedes do start at higher than 3k so they are not in the same range. I meant to compare mainly JAPANESE mid size sedans in the same catagory, if you couldn't tell...That's why there are no domestics or europeans.

I would rather have an audi/bmw/mercedes over any japanese mid size sedan!
