Its Dead to Me

There was a time that I longed for the Maxima but Nissan has whittled away the years and not kept up with the Germans, or even themselves. It feels like Nissan has hung the Maxima out to dry to prevent canabalizing sales of their more shiney Infiniti division. If Infiniti did not exist then the Maxima's story MIGHT be different. But with front wheel drive and a CVT tranny.....forget about it.

So here comes the newest car to bear the Maxima name. First, the interior is lifted straight from Infiniti. Second, the styling....ummm, it's like someone took the new Honda Accord and halfway morphed it into a Toyota Camry. In other words, not good.
