It was brought to my attention by Nissan management that only now does the 2009 Maxima share the D platform with the Altima. Previous Maxima have been based on the FF-L platform. Sorry for mistake. -Chris
#7 of 25 Premium gas? by rob121 Jun 05, 2008 (4:52 am)
Does anyone know if the new maxima will use only premium gas? Also, when will the actual price be announced? Replies to this message: nowakj66 (Jun 05, 2008 9:32 am)

Replying to: rob121 (Jun 05, 2008 4:52 am) I understand that it will run regular gas at a 10-15% loss in HP.
#9 of 25 2009 Maxima v. 2009 Acura TL by nowakj66 Jun 05, 2008 (9:33 am)
The Maxima and Acura TL have long been competitors. Any thoughts on how the all new 2009 versions of these cars will stack up? Replies to this message: shaase (Jun 05, 2008 3:29 pm) krc01 (Jun 13, 2008 12:42 pm) pcm3232 (Jun 13, 2008 10:37 am)

Replying to: nowakj66 (Jun 05, 2008 9:33 am) The 2009 Maxima and 2009 Acura TL should stack up well against each other. Both cars have 290-300 hp through the front wheels and both cars have top notch infotainment system. In addition, both cars should have an MSRP of $37-$38K. Acura has the better warranty- 4yr 50K vs. Maxima 3yr 36K Replies to this message: krc01 (Jun 13, 2008 12:42 pm)

Replying to: nowakj66 (Jun 05, 2008 9:33 am) Assuming the 09 TL is released with its all wheel drive system, (SH-AWD), all bets are off. Acura TL's will be competing with Infiniti M's, not Nissan Maxima's.

Replying to: shaase (Jun 05, 2008 3:29 pm) Are you crazy?! A TL matching up with an Infiniti M?! The TL is WAY outclassed by the M, which is comparable to the 5 Series or E-Class. In fact, the M does circles around their non-performance models. I wouldn't even want to witness the slaughter of a TL by that of an Infiniti G35, which is more porportionate to the TL than an M. Acura folks always think too highly of their FWD over-rated and over-priced cars. Glorified Hondas!

Replying to: bvdj84 (Jun 02, 2008 8:37 am) The '09 Max looks a lot better than what pictures show. I had the opportunity to see and touch one a few hours ago. Lost my appetitie for Maximas until I saw the '09. Replies to this message: go_mdx1 (Jun 15, 2008 5:30 pm)

Replying to: khusmc (Jun 15, 2008 4:19 pm) Awesome....can you please provide more details on your "09 maxima" siting?? was the car for sale or a pre-production unit?? Hopefully, this siting means the vehicle will be available very soon, but local dealers have been telling me July or August, yet the website says June and I believe the first production runs began a few weeks ago.
