Drove by one on the highway. Man it was ugly! I didn't know what it was until I saw the badge. Plus the fact that it was a copper orange color probably didn't help it.

Yeah, what is what that paint color? The first 350Z that I saw was that same color. [hurl icon] #XX#!!#XX# [/hurl icon]

I don't like that color, but I like the look of the new Maxima.

I personally wouldn't buy one, but I think that the design will satisfy people that will buy them new.

I saw them at the dealership a few weeks ago. Man they were expensive! ~27K or something like that

Guess you found cheap ones then :) I think the base is maybe a touch under that but with some basic options you quickly climb the price ladder. Fully loaded is about 35k.

I like that copper orange on the Z, but then again a Z of any color still looks good. I can't see it being attractive on a large 4 door sedan though.

It's that same copper orange color you see on Muranos too. Orange looks ok on certain cars like the BMW 2002 but metallic orange is suck.

My memory's a little fuzzy, but yeah it could have been in that range. At that high a price doesn't it compete with their Infinity line, especially the G35?

I just saw a new maxima today... kinda looks like caddy CTS from the front!!!

I think Nissan made a mistake with this new look for the maxima...
