As I mentioned, but it doesnt seem anyone paid attention IT SAYS 3.5 ON THE PASS SIDE REAR and as Nissan has been hinting, it will share a Z soul...*HINT* 3.5 350z motor 287hp. It is going to be in a G35 class and seems to almost be on the platform, which means RWD and of course bring back the "sport" means no more beam 
so 287hp RWD with IRS seems to be the solid rumor. I would buy one over any other gen besides the 3rd. Trust me they will look better, I wasnt fond of the 2k's or even the new Z, but they do grow on you.

Actually, it's going to be AWD and on the FF platform- the same as the Altima. My real beef with this car is the fact that it lost its "Maxima-ness" the 3-5th gens had styling cues that were all their own. Nothing else in the line-up looked like a Maxima, now it turned into a bloated Altima that got rear ended by a Z.

As far as looks, I dont like it.
The ending of the org is near.

its funny there were 6 years that they had the 3rd gen, 5 for the 4th gen, now 4 for the 5th gen lol.. if the pattern stays the same, i guess the 6th gen will only be out for 3 years?

The roof of the car reminds me of a new Passat. Like many people, I think it looks like a 4 door 350Z. I've seen some of the photoshop pics on this thread and it doesn't seem bad at all. Right now I'll half and half but thinking it will grow on me once more pics and kits are available. Another thing I'm excited to see are the specs...

No V8 , No AWD or RWD same platform as the current Maxima.
also for anyone who may doubt his info this is the same person who had all the correct info about the 2k2 when everyone else was just speculating.
as far as styling I think this one goes back to the 4th gen shape more then the 5th gen shape

Speaking of Internet Bandwagoning (back at the beginning of this thread)
There was a thread at AccordV6.com with this photo and everybody started jumping on the ITS UGLY wagon, commenting that the front SUCKED, even though you can't even see it yet!
Then mid-thread I posted that I liked it, and that everyone was prejudiced against Nissan by making the judgements that they were before they could even see the whole car.
Sure enough, every post after that had positive comments about the new Maxima.
Some people just agree with and go in whatever direction the wind is blowing at that particular time. Others are not afraid to state an opposing view, even with 100 mph gale force winds against you

Ha ha
people are already 'modding' it and it hasn't even come out yet
I really wish that it did not look so much like the Alty. It should be more distinguishable from the Alty.
Joe Blow: 'Oh...nice Altima'
Me: 'It's a MAXIMA!'

I'm starting to like it. 18" rims, possibility of RWD...maybe it may just make sens to wait for the 2006 model where they would probably tweak the front and rear end. all I know is that that picture is now my wallpeper. the more I see it, the more I like it!

Back on topic....I really can't decide whether or not I like it. I'm partial to gen5 because my dad and my cousin drive one. I think the rear of the new max blows away the rear of the g35 sedan. I kinda wish they had more pics because I really dont know waht else to think

I'm suprised you guys are comparing it to the Ford Taurus and not the Saturn ION, which to me it looks more like, and what alot of people at freshalloy.com were saying. To me that car isnt that bad, i used to think the 5th gens were butt *** ugly until like a year or two ago. Hopefully the new max will look better in black with black tint and won't cost too much more than the 5th gen. Maybe someone could photoshop some side skirts and a rear kit that makes the exhaust and tail area look more powerful and agressive?
also it could be worse...it could look like the 2003 Accord sedan

It's because we naturally are resistant to change...and see change as negative. Personally I think it looks kind of cool. The rear end looks NOTHING like an altima...more like a 350z....the dual tips are sweet looking, and the rims are really nice. You can't really get a clean shot of the front end yet, so a judgement that it looks just like an altima is WAY off base.
Get off your soap boxes and EMBRACE change.

The Nussan Maxima just went from sporty to luxury, and it is not working.
THE WORLD IS COMING TO A END!!!

Hey, remember when the Maxima used to talk to you? "The door is open." That nice pleasant female voice. They should bring that back.

Kinda resembles the Altima ('02+) up front but the back looks sweet.
I hope they don't "cheapen" the interior.
From what I heard the '04 Max will reclaim its title as a "4DSC" like the 3rd gen. did, but only time will tell when it comes out.
Overall I'm impressed, can't wait to see some interior pics
