Hmmm, the new maxima, still looks fuglym and the interior does not look that much better than the altimas ...also, notice how their is a bench that separates the rear passenger compartment....wtf is up w/ that, now we have a 4dr family sedan thats a 2+2??? wtf???!!!


that quest is ugly, althought the roof is cool

the 5.6 L engine in the titan sounds sweet


however, the niecest car here is def. the fx45...looks very sweet!

overall, less than thrilled w/nissan

the max is horrific. I do like the Max's dash (shock!) but the gauges and steering wheel suck. The titan is not bad. Both the Triant and FX45 are ugly. BUT, I actually like the Quest. I do think it's a tad ugly, but it's the only van with STYLE so I applaud nissan there

The Altima is the best looking car in Nissan's lineup. The Z next. These new cars look like they were designed by a Sentinal or an "Agent" from the Matrix movie. FUGLY.

what an ugly Maxima.. The back is copied from Lexus GS300, the side is from Altima, and the front is weird. it is damn ugly. What the hell is Nissan doing? others are ugly too.

Notice how the guages on the Quest minivan are center dash mounted like the Saturn Ion! None of the other models have this.

But the Quest is pretty good, I like it.

Can't believe that the company that was responsible for the 5th gen Max - especially and specifically the simple improvement from the halogens of the '00/'01 to the HID's for the '02/'03 - is responsible for this bastardization generated from bits/pieces of the current 350z/G35. You can see the G35c/sedan in the face, the profile looks like a stretched 4dr z, the instrument pod is directly out of the z, and the center console is the worst of both of those cars. Now, provide a AWD variant of the Triant, and you might have something!

Somebody obviously thought that rehashing the "4-door sports car" campaign of old and cloning the 350Z details on the Maxima's proportions was a winner of an idea.

FX45 is a winner. It is based on the same Front Midship platform as the 350Z and G35 coupe/sedan. Plus it has a 4.5 liter V8 that puts out 340 horses.

Exactly what i think. On the maxima theres this space behind the rear seat window that looks a bit out of place. Plus the rear winshield comes down really wierd, take a close look at it.

Quest - FUGLY. im into the interior, just not the dash/center console

fx45 - I think this is really nice


p.s. wtf is up w/ all the grills?

The Max is ugly....that's been determined, I do think the 4 place seating is cool though (assuming it's production).

cool, but stupid. In such a big 4 door like that, nobody would pay extra for something like that. If it reaches producion, i bet it falls from the option list the next year.

The Max sucks, all of it. :thumbsdn:
I've been looking forward to the new truck, but I think it looks too much like a Frontier, makes it look small.
The Quest looks like it should be a Saturn, but the interior is sweet.
I'm starting to dig the FX45, but I still like the original concept better.

Thanks for the pics Unsure!!

Looks like I WONT be replacing my 2K2 Max with the 2K5 Max when my lease is up.

However, I think I may be trading in my Y2K Quest SE for the 2K4 Quest; that thing looks AWESOME: 245hp 3.5L V6, Navi, 4 passenger area glass roof panels, 2 fold down LCD monitors for the middle and rear seat passengers. AWESOME!!

Peace.
