...Maxima finally returns to a true rear independent suspension found in the Altima (and originally adapted from the Skyline GT-R). With AWD and 6 speed manual, the new Maxima moves up the market...

**NacronSE** · 12-05-2002, 01:25 PM

looks like the altima with modified tail lights.

What's up with the butt, it's getting uglier all the time [img]graemlins/thumbdown.gif[/img]

**Focused** · 12-05-2002, 01:31 PM

in my opinion i don't think the rear flows well with the rest..may be just the angle of the official pic but from here it looks kinda [img]graemlins/thumbdown.gif[/img]

**CTZX3** · 12-05-2002, 01:32 PM

Looks like a SATURN ION with an extra large rear bumper! [img]graemlins/lol.gif[/img]

**Jared** · 12-05-2002, 01:37 PM

looks like the love child of a Town Car and an Altima.

**OmniFocus** · 12-05-2002, 01:38 PM

I wish I worked for them. I could make a few small tweaks to that design and it would really help.

The fender arches just look like something from Walmart... and the wheels just scream cheap too.

I think it has potential, but as usual with everything from Nissan, the essense is lost in the details.

Yuck Yuck Yuck!!!

**rpvitiello** · 12-05-2002, 02:06 PM

I agree with it looks like an ION I just started a post on it JUST before this got posted [img]graemlins/lol.gif[/img] !

**NavyZX5** · 12-05-2002, 02:10 PM

YEs, it does look like a Saturn ION. Also, it definitely shows Nissan's Renault/French influence!

It's not as good looking as before, but I bet it will sell to Maxima fans.

**mikefocuszx3** · 12-05-2002, 02:22 PM

The Infiniti G35 has to be the ugliest car I've ever seen....that weird ass end and angled tail lights...what's up with those guys at Nissan. They are the GM of japanese automakers....ugly, ugly...

**Halo** · 12-05-2002, 02:23 PM

Looks like a Altima+G35+Avalon

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">i think the G 35 looks awesome!!
but its all a matter of taste anyway..
the maxima was never a good looking car.. the new model at least has some innovations going on.. with that wierd ass butt
anyway people back in the days complained about the new edge ford look with the focus and the cougar... but it paid off.. at least for me.. since when it first came out I thought that style would look old very quikly, and now well.. it does look good [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

**GapBoyPCS** · 12-05-2002, 08:43 PM

Looks too much like the Altima.

**Kool_ZX3** · 12-05-2002, 08:46 PM

It looks like someone took the Ugly Stick to the old one and got this after hours of beating it [img]graemlins/lol.gif[/img]

**MMI-ZX3** · 12-05-2002, 10:51 PM

Everyone says it looks too much like the Altima. But if you look back through the years the Altima has basically become a mini Maxima. So you could look at that either way.

**jwardell** · 12-06-2002, 01:44 AM

[img]graemlins/thumbdown.gif[/img] Rear looks like a freakin' DEAWOO.

**P-51** · 12-06-2002, 06:50 AM

I think Nissan must be hiring all the designers that Bob Lutz has kicked out of Pontiac! [img]graemlins/lol.gif[/img]

**DavesFocus** · 12-06-2002, 07:32 AM

haha, your all saying ugly, but wait till you race one [img]graemlins/lol.gif[/img]

**BowDown** · 12-06-2002, 09:24 PM

I like the new taillights [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] .

**NavyZX5** · 12-06-2002, 09:45 PM

It looks like an Altima becasue it is the same platform with different styling. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Still, the Max has its cult following. The old one sold fine even with a bigger Altima in 2002, I think Nissan fans will still buy it.

**theraven** · 12-07-2002, 04:46 AM

Bigtime ugly. It is like a really overweight woman - curves in all the wrong places.
