Turns out Nissan is putting this into the 2019 Altima. Perhaps also in the 2019 maxima, though I see no confirmation of it.

Bump!

OK, let's get real the Maxima never has been or will be RWD. Chances of AWD are slim to none, but RWD definitely no.

8th gen will stay as FWD.

8th gen will not have manual option

I could see Max going AWD I suppose, it would help differentiate it from the Altima further but it would be in too great competition from the 37x and I do feel it very unlikely.
