New Nissan Maxima
The next generation of the Nissan Maxima was just revealed...
Looking good so far...
Let'* look at another angle..
THOSE HEADLIGHTS!
Definitely not sexima-like... I think those headlights might be the ugliest I've ever seen! I mean, it just doesn't look right... Also, they're keeping that stupid CVT... Talk about a boring transmission, it makes the VQ seem slower than a Kia Rio! Oi... Nissan makes one bad move after another...

Upper middle class car buyers will soak that thing up like semi imported wine. Its not quite important wine (aka Infiniti M45) but its close enough.
CVT trannies take some getting use to from what I hear, behaves totally differently then the traditional automatic gearboxes.

My step mom just bought one with the CVT. Its weird at first but cool once you get used to it. it also has a shiftronic mode with preset shift points so it feels just like a regular 6 speed auto would not that she knows how to use that mode.

The car is nice looking, however the headlights are hella-ugly. Official debut of the car is going to be this weekend at the New York Auto Show, supposedly it is getting back to the Maxima roots of being a 4door sports car. Im hoping for VQ37+ RWD; we'll see
CVT= ALWAYS BEING IN YOUR POWERBAND!!!!!
imagine being at your max HP rpm and not loosing time through shifts and spending time in lower RPM ranges... CVT just eliminates the FEELING that the shifting makes you feel like your going fast...
