2009 Nissan Maxima leaked

Post by Whelan »

No Specs yet, figures to come out shortly. What do ya think?I kinda like it, but I need to see RWD and 300hp like the Infiniti G, and maybe an optional V6 turbo with say 330hp. Personally I would like the M AWD setup in there.

Wow. How far they've come... Learned to drive on a '85 Nissan Maxima and I remember taking it to a deserted road and doing 0-60 runs consistently in the 8 second range. Gotta love those mosaic alloy rims (until you had to wash them).Best part was the voice warning system; the car talked to you in a sweet female voice: "key is in the ignition", "right door is open," "fuel level is low"

i just changed the headlight bulbs in my freinds altima.....what a pain in the @$$ that was....not really but it still sucks.....you have to pull out the coolant box on the passenger side and the airbox on the drivers side and you still barely have room to stick your hand down there

I like it. Speaking of the 2009 Nissans, I saw a 2009 Nissan Murano in the showroom this morning while getting an oil change. Didn't like it.

Interesting, not sure it all works together, though.

Anybody remember the Eddie Murphy stand-up bit about his early 80's talking Maxima? The car said "hey man, somebody stole yo bat-tray! I say we go get the............" Anyway.... I guess this one is alright, maybe better than the last version in some respects. I do like it better than the current generations of Camcords.

I'd never own one but it doesn't look half bad to me.

it's ok, but what's up with manufacturers trying as hard as they can to keep people from buying aftermarket head units??

More and more newer cars are designed with dealer item only parts. Sure you can get your small time stuff at the local napa or what not.Plus with all the modern electronics in cars these days, a lot of it routes through the headunit so by removing it, you create issues.

Looks great, kinda like thier G35 four door. I love the Nissan 300hp 3 liter V6 with the 6 speed M/T. Wifey has it in her 350Z. If this Maxima is anything like the older versions you can bet that it is quite, smooth and handles great.
