#33 of 681 Looks terrific, but... by morey000 May 28, 2008 (8:37 am)
Looks like a beautiful vehicle, and the magazines just love 290hp engines in family sedans that weigh nearly 3700lbs   But- does a car like this even make sense any more with $4/gal gas? It was envisioned and designed probably 3-4 years ago and no longer has a place today.   OK, granted, spending $2400 a year on petrol won't break the bank of the average buyer of a $35K sedan- but from a principle standpoint, isn't it time that our family sedans are getting 25mpg rather than 19mpg (or 17mpg as the testers realized). Remember, this is a Nissan, not an Infinity.   Wouldn't a 200hp engine that pulls a car weighing 400lbs less to 60 in 7.9s and gets 25mpg/32mpg hwy be the solution of the future? Well, OK- maybe in Altima trim? So, I guess my issue is with the Altima- which got too big and nice, and forced the Maxima to be 'over the top'. Hmm. guess that's why they call it a "Maxima".

Replying to: iwantone (Apr 13, 2008 3:02 pm) I for one am happy to hear that the 2009 Maxima shrunk in length. The previous gen Maxima had grown up to almost 194 inches in length. To me, that is just way too long for a sedan. The Genesis, while it looks to be very promising is way too long for me at 195 inches!!

The benefits of cars that large are more interior space with back seats someone 6+ft can actually sit in. Can they still handle? See G8/ Mazda 6.   And Nissan didn't mess up in Maxima's old size, but that they let the Altima again better it, in looks and perforemance. Replies to this message: maximafan (Jun 28, 2008 7:48 pm)

Looks great to me. Would like to get the Mrs. one. Will have to see and drive however. Which hopefully will be shortly. My Titan 4WD LE is a GREAT truck too.
#38 of 681 When will 2009 Maximas hit the show room floor? by go_mdx1 Jun 15, 2008 (5:37 pm)
Hi,   I've read in some other forums where a few 2009 Maxima's have been spotted but my local dealers are saying July/August is most likely for Maximas to go on sale. Any one know the official release / sale date?   While I personally think the 2009 Maxima looks great and is a good step in the right direction, the lack of activity/interest in this forum makes me think others do not share this opinion. If so, the could be the last of the Maxima's!! Long live Altima. Replies to this message: flightnurse (Jun 15, 2008 7:55 pm) rkurlander (Jun 17, 2008 4:05 am) jsmithsole (Jun 19, 2008 12:10 am)

Replying to: go_mdx1 (Jun 15, 2008 5:37 pm) I would assume with past expeirence with Nissan, the New Max will be at dealers shortly. I would say before the end of the month.
