2009 Nissan Maxima Revealed

Gah! I don't know what to say about this, the new Maxima pics just came out and everything BUT the nose is awesome, those headlights hurt my eyes.

"Looks like despite an embargo officially dropping sometime tonight or tomorrow on the 2009 Nissan Maxima, the covers have been lifted a bit early. After the new Maxima teaser shots we showed yesterday that gave us absolutely nothing, we're glad to finally have the official pics. We'll have a full set of live photos tomorrow at the official New York Auto Show unveil."

What the heck is that?...j/k

I have mixed feelings on it. I like the interior though and prefer the Infiniti-esque design.

Most people around the net are very impressed with the interior - but aren't crazy about the exterior. I'm the oddball because I love the whole thing. This new model has a very smooth, classy look to it. While everything else is becoming sharp-edged, this stands out as smooth.. I like it.. A lot..

I like this new generation.Took a few days to get use to when teaser shots came out.I can't wait to test drive this summer.The only dissapointment is the selection of the engine.I thought Nissan would had gone to the 3.7L engine for more horsepower but I think that will be instore for 2011 which Nissan seems to upgrade horsepower about every two years after they roll out a newer model.But from reading they couldn't upgrade the engine due to the CVT transmission.

I like the new Music Box hard drive system and new look cockpit.Bigger tires, I wonder who the tires are made by.I'm guessing not Goodyear this time around.The front grill is still reminiscent of the 6th generations.The rear reminds me of the Altima.But I like the model with the rear spoiler.

You know what it is I don't like?

The grill. I think the grill really messes with the lines of the rest of the car.
Rectangle grill while the rest of the car is nice and smooth.

Hmm.. I don't feel that way - but if it sticks out to you, than it likely does so for many other people. I wonder what types of aftermarket grilles we'll be seeing. Maybe something to smooth it out...
