Perhaps, but it is also handily superior to those cars in most every way. Unless you prioritize detached luxury (Avalon) or domestic value (Impala), which we don't.

Roch, I drove a Maxima up and down the California coast, 1600 miles in one week. While it is a lovely car that does alright on the backroads for its size, it is not a G37 or any of the aforementioned RWD sports sedans. At the end of the day, it is a full size sedan and most people who enjoy driving would take a car with a lame name over a car with FWD, increased weight, and a CVT.. unless of course they don't car about that and just want 'name recognition' and some style.. which is obviously Mr. Croony here.

Just saw it yesterday at our local dealer during a launch party. Honest opinion, I love the car and personally would take it over the current. Going to be an amazing ride

Not feeling it either, but maybe, just maybe if I can get over the fact that our G has been put out to pasture and will never be coming back, this will have to do. Loved the past Gs round taillights and front end, but I DO LOVE the Qs side profile, and the interior looks like they've gone the extra mile.
Maybe there will be someone doing the 2014 to 2013 front end swap

And I hope they have a black grill option for that awful amount of chrome. It's not like it can even be vinyl wrapped with that honeycomb.

How old are you? Just curious? To clarify my gripes with this new scheme. For one (and my main reason) it looks like a transformer and two it's naming is lame. The Maxima looks way better IMO especially with the sports package with 19" rims. When everyone talks about how great the 328's handle, I agree, but for an overall sports sedan, the G37 is the best value. It's back seat is very capable of car seats for kids as I have done the last 5 years in all my G's. the 3 series is too small. So for a sports sedan that can haul your kid and wife in, and scream down the road with nav and tons of other options under $40000, it can't be beat. The Maxima I have always thought of as a second choice to do that and I'm not such a dumb *** as you think I am when you consider what I'm looking for in a sports sedan, wannabesport, and in no way would i drive any Toyata sedan or Chevy sedan product (Love my wife's 2011Tahoe tho)If I feel the need to fly around corners or go to the track,I'll get a Porsche to go with my Nissan/Infiniti sedan.
Diego, I agree it looks fantastic. I think in person it has real presence. Looks wonkier in pics, but in the flesh...

What Porsche did you get? My father being 64 years old just bought his dream car moving from a 2001 boxter to a brand new 2013 boxter s with the PDK transmission. What a car! That tranny is amazing with that engine. Porsche is making some amazing unmatched cars right now for sure!
Thanks again for your insight

Didn't buy one, yet. I was a manager at an Infiniti dealership, now I switched over to a Porsche dealership lol.

The tides, much like always, will advance and retreat. It's a cycle.
