Anyone know why the the 07 maxima is rated at 255hp when the 06 was rated at 265?
Just curious why they are dropping it.

My guess is gas mileage due to the price of gas [only a guess]

There's also new SAE-recommended ways of measuring horsepower, which have caused power ratings to go down slightly compared to the previous standard.

Not sure if this affects the method is Nissan using to rate HP, but I know Honda switched over...
