The front looks pretty close to the Alty too.
Back is only difference...blah!

Here is a great moderator, will the 04 Max offer a V8 with rear wheel drive Alex?

I heard it will use the 3.5 V6 w/more power

Well there you go. I heard that the Q45 platform was going to be used for the GLE with a V8 rear wheel drive. Nobody seems to know for sure.

There seems to be no limit for the VQ35 engine, it could probably produce 350hp with out modding. However with front wheel drive it is limited.

Wow, that is a good looking car, are they thinking about using the same V8 that the Infinity M45 (340hp, 333torque)?? Because that would be quite nice LoL

Also wondering if you think 20"x9" wheels (35mm low pro tires)would fit on a 3rd generation maxima without rubbing???

I would think that 20X9 wheels would be too wide for our cars. I know for sure that you can put a 8" wide wheel under the car but 9" might be pushing it a bit well at least in the front. What is the spacing for the wheels?

Sounds like FWD still, 3.5L V6 from the Freshalloy info... maybe AWD? Who knows.

Still looks ugly- in the back end at least, I don't see any "harmony" in the angles. At least compared to the G35SC, which is dead sexy.

I don't like it right off the bat, well see if it grows on me. Anyone know the demensions for the car? IE.. wheelbase and interior dimensions.

Yea, that is going to take some getting used to. ...... When the third gen. Alty came along it jumped right out at me.

What is that in the grill?

New 04 info on Nissan's site with specs.

I think it looks real nice from the side and the back but the front of the car is very ugly in my opinion.

Maxima's have always looked good til now! I can't believe how nasty the '04 looks, at least from behind. I think the auto makers need to remember those days when each car had it's OWN look and you could tell a Nissan from a Toyota and a Chevy from a Ford! These days, you can't tell the new cars appart.

I always hoped it would be RWD. Seems like its not much different/better than the Altima. And the Altima seems to be selling like mad where I live. I just hoped it would have something to make it different than the Altima.
The front grille would look 10X better without the center piece with the Nissan badge. But it kind of looks like it has a fat ass.
