Very nice redesign, slightly larger to be direct competition with the Altima, Camry, Accord. And judging by its looks, it should sell well in my opinion. Engines offered are a 3.7L V6 w/ 273hp (think CX-9) and a new 2.5L I-4 which will be higher than the current 156hp. Goes on sale in August.

Don't you mean direct competition with the Maxima - not the Altima? Maxima competes against the Camry and Accord, no?For some reason, I just don't like the look of it in the second picture. The first pic looks good, but the second...

Altima moved up to compete against those brands. The Maxima would be in the range of the Ford Taurus, Toyota Avalon grouping. It is slightly larger and more powerful than the others.As for the 6. My cousin has an 04 6s with the 3.0L V6, spoiler, leather, bose system, sunroof, side skirts, heated seats, dark grey. Has over 90,000 miles on it right now and still drives really well.

Looks very Camry-ish, not sure I am feeling this redesign, like the current style better.
