    Post 2009 Nissan Maxima







    http://nissan.iconicweb.com/as...s.pdf

    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

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

    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.

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

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

    . 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.

    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.
