| Interesting photos. I happen to prefer the Azera from the back and like the look of the Max from the front. | |

Replying to: captain2 (Mar 18, 2008 7:52 am)  You're right about how a car photographs...when I first saw the pics of the Azera online...I wasn't wild about it. However, seeing it in the showroom changed all that. With the Max lookin as it has for as long as it has, seeing it in it's new form will take some getting used to (sorta like the new Accords). I too like the current Altima over all it's previous models, but the coupe is even better looking to me. Anyway, I think the Max will be one to grow on folks and once it does...watch out. They did right with the interior IMO...much better job on the inside.

Replying to: captain2 (Mar 18, 2008 8:14 am) I've always liked the body of the current Max (up until the Altima started really looking like it), but the interior was just lacking.

Replying to: captain2 (Mar 18, 2008 7:11 am) It only had Trac but absolutely always on when you started the car. |

...the diesel that looks to be going in the future Veracruz will find it's way into the Genesis and or Azera later on down the road as well. Scroll down and read the entry for the 2010 Veracruz Diesel |

Replying to: allmet33 (Mar 18, 2008 8:27 am) What I don't see happening is Nissan not putting some reasonable power in the Max Diesel (it is a Maxima after all) a condition that would certainly mean RWD - because a diesel capable of moving a 4000 lb.(or so) car in any sort of Maxima-like manner would have to put out in excess of 220 hp and likely well over 400 lb ft of torque would come with that - to 'level' the playing field with its gasoline engined cousins. Maybe only wishfull thinking on my part - a change to RWD - but I wouldn't want to drive a 300hp/280 lb ft Maxima, never mind one that has say 220hp and 420 lb ft.- as FWD cars |

Replying to: allmet33 (Mar 18, 2008 8:37 am) However, I want to know about the mechanicals. Tune the VQ just south of 300HP, 5 or 6 speed auto, tame the TS and FE similar to my Av and I will seriously consider it. OTOH..... make me even happier throw in the 3.7 and RWD and I'll be standing in line with the Captain to get mine. |
