Great information on the 09 Max. I must say that after just getting home from a 400 mile round trip to Virginia Beach in my 07 SE with CVT, I experienced exactly what you described. Pressing on the gas at Highway speeds does not cause the rush expected in even a 255 hp car. Makes me wonder where Nissan gets their figures. I don't think Nissan realizes that "Sport" means more than big wheels, metallic trim, and special stitching on the leather seats.
1 thing I did was switch the transmission over to manual mode, which automatically drops the CVT to 5th gear, then I shifted up to 6 and pressed on the gas. Doing that did indicate a down shift to 4th gear and even to 3rd gear on one occasion. Once in the lower gear, the car will hold it until the red line or until the driver manually up shifts, either way the experience was thrill-less. My 04 with the non-CVT had sharp, quick up shifts and down shifts in auto and in manual mode and it was the SL (NON-sport).
I find it interesting that we both have the same experience with the CVT when pushing it for that rush of power we all love in a "Sport" equipped car. Back to the drawing board for Nissan.

Without the Nav system, the screen is not a monitor and therefore unable to project images. If you look at the screen when the headlights are on you will see the data points that can turn into letters and numbers, not images. Hope that helps.

$26,400 for an SV by bwia

In yesterday's Boston Globe I saw two dealers overing the 09 Maxima SV for $26,400 and $26,600. Apparently these were not stripper models as they mentioned that 11 others were available at that price.
 
With the stock market in a tailspin I would expect much better prices down the road. So I would wait until 2009 before seriously considering purchasing a Maxima or any car for that matter.
