new 2004 maxima

[wylin]

Here's the first look at the 2004 Nissan Maxima, set to debut at the Detroit auto show on January 5. Based on the Altima platform, the Maxima will be powered by a 3.5-liter V-6 making somewhere in the neighborhood of 260 horsepower. Unlike past Maximas, which were built in Japan, the '04 model will be built alongside the Altima at Nissan's Smyrna, TN, plant. It is scheduled to go on sale in March, with prices starting around $30,000.

what's up w/ the circular shapes these days. beetles, tt's and now this.
the front doesn't look too bad from this angle but that ass end looks like shit.

made in the usa? there goes the resale value.

beats me i saw this prototype like 6 months ago front end is basically same as altima w/ slightly larger lights but same grill and foglight style

The 1999 style (don't know which years that style was) appeals to me the most.

yeah i wanna go back to the days when cars looked like cars and not like something some 4 yr. old slapped together with building blocks. i hate those huge butts they're putting on cars nowadays like the new accord. damn that thing is ugly.
