from the side it looks like a camry. mostly it looks like a infinity. i think as long as we got something sporty/aggressive then its ok.

Looks like a mixture of the new Camry, Subaru (something Rally), and a..... toyota??
It does not look aggressive whatsoever... and I dont see to much of the youth sporting one of these.... like the 6th Gen and 5th Gen
IDK.... Im more on the racey/classy look and the 7th Gen does not have any of that. Just my thoughts though
What a disappointment

Yeah its a bit "blobby" looking . . kind of non-descript. It might look better in another color.

Car looks a lot less "blobby" than a 6th gen. The hood lines and the profile are straight from the G35.

The only thing I'll say is the hood lines don't make sense if the engine doesn't sit directly under the hump which would suggest RWD or AWD but I don't see a rear diff in the rear shot.

Interior is really ugly to me. The infiniti style knob is cool, but radio controls and everything under that is ugly. HOrribly ugly guage clusters, and cluster hood. Front headlights are horrendous. Tailights do look like a damn camry. Body lines are good with me.

OK what do you guys think about this:
Check out this pic. Notice the orange box with the display within the Speedometer. Looks like a car... Looks like it's the 4 tires of the car. Do you think this is some kind of AWD gauge that shows which of the wheels are slipping, or where the power is going to?

No cassette deck, WTF!!!
I love the whole look, only thing I'm not too happy with is the front hood, love the wave of it but resembles somewhat of a toilet seat lid...

If you compared it to the new Accord and Camry then I'd say the 09 Maxima looks the most aggressive. I don't think it needs to look anything like a Camry. The head lights are better shaped. I don't think I like the wheels design either.

Looks leagues better than the 6th gen, so I would say Nissan has definitely taken the car back in the right direction, design wise at least.
