Is it just me or...
Am I the only one that thinks the 4th gen maxima is the best looking out of all of them. A buddy of mine bought the 7th gen maxima and Im not so hot on it. The 4th gen can really pull it if you get the kits and lights right. IMO

I am with you 100%. Not sure if this is the right place to put this post(Theres so many of then XD), but the 4th gen is the best, because it is the most aerodynamic and aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

97-99s look very good when lowered a bit on decent wheels. stock 95-96, ehhhh, not so much.
i would say that when lowered on nice wheels, 97-99s look the best out of all the generations. 3rd gens improve with lowering too, but for whatever reason, not as much. 5th gens are kind of weird looking, and 6th gens are ugly as hell no matter what you do to them - their lines are terrible. 7th gens are good looking cars (though I have never seen one lowered).

What the heck is a 4.5 gen TSdude? Don't tell me a VQ30 with a DEK Manifold.... or the 97-99's.....
I remember a while back you called something a 4.5 gen and proceeded to get flamed..LOL

97-99 SE. Nuff said. I have an I30 now......growing to love it slowly.
Actually, I30s do look better than 97-99 in one area; side profile. The chrome bits are tastefully done on the car, and they especially stand out on dark color I30s, like the thicker door guard with a chrome seam in it. The Maxima just gets this plastic line.
Still, the 97-99 SEs are the best looking....sigh

I kind of agree with this. Since, 6.5 gen is the same principle.
Maybe an A32B is a VQ35 equipped 4th gen.
IMO....
There was a point in my life that I was into the 95/6 slightly more, but then began to favor the 97-99. And I also like 3rd gens too.
I remember completely hating the 00-01. And slowly letting the 02-03 grow on me.
Always hated the 6.0, semi tolerate the 6.5.
7th gen is good looking but far too big.
I wont even get into specifics (tranny type, CVT, etc). just based solely on looks.
In the end, A32 fo lYfe!

Ah! A classic. Those were the good ol' days. 
I think the 4th gen is very nice looking. I think I'm going to buy a 5.5 gen this go around though. I want them extra horses!

I love the 4th gen only with the right paint and wheels it's a classic in my book never owned one but drove it before,the 5 Gen is sexy/sporty at the same time I owned one wish it wasn't so heavy. And 6th Gen hm I'm starting to like it slowly lol anything after that I'm not interested

I also thought 4.5 gen meant a VQ35 4th gen.
The 97-99 is really only a cosmetically modified 95-96.
Same engine, same body, different bumpers and grilles only.
So......4.5 gen like the 5.5 which a has different motor and HIDs from the 5th gen?

The 97-99 are pimp but wish it could have kept the 95-96 grill. As for the 7th gen IMO, it is starting to lose some cool point seeing that the 2013 Altima pretty much took the back of the 7th gen just like the previous Altimas took the front of the 6th gens witht he headlights...
Nissan is starting to lose their creative touch since separating from Japan. Look at their Maximas over there and compare to here. Also, cant forget about the 01 AE which was pimp also if it also got the 5.5 headlights and grill to go with it.
