Over the last 15 years, there have been times when I've momentarily mistaken an Altima for a Maxima. But I have never, ever mistaken a Maxima for an Altima.

A Maxima parked next to an Altima looks very different. Every manufacturer strives for a bit of brand recognition so there will be some character lines that are similar. But you might as well say every BMW, Acura, Honda, Toyota, GM, etc. is the same and lazy with their designs. At least Nissan doesn't re-badge their mainstream cars and try to sell them as something entirely different like most Chevy/GMC/Buick suvs and trucks. Now that's lazy.

I guess you could argue the same thing about similarity in styling with the Altima and our cars. They have the same dual exhaust, bumper shape, trunk shape, roof line, back window shape, wheel well, side windows, etc. About the only thing drastically different is the tail lights.

^That's after the facelift. The styling will mimic the Q line more than the G since they evolved together. That said, the Q and Altima are more distinguishable than the early 5th gen Altima and the G.
I remember the Altima coupe referenced as the poor man's G35 in college since they were similar in styling.

The styling and shapes of all the parts I listed earlier are a lot more different between these two than our cars and the Altima- especially the much more sharply angled roof, sculpted sides, square back window, floating roof, etc. of the Maxima.
Both of the cars below do look similar, but not a single part is shared between the two cars and the difference in presence, quality, and width in person is pretty striking.

Did you plan on doing the same Rim setup on both of your cars? My Wife drives a QX60 and I have a G37xS and I was thinking of doing the same rims on both vehicles, obviously like 19'' on the sedan and 22'' on her truck. But then again I would only want to do 2 different sets because of variety!

Originally bought the ones for the qx60, and then when I saw theones on the xs, I had to have them. I agree, I did want something diffrent but was drawn to the same basic design. The ones on the qx60 are a little more square whereas the xs ones are more rounded in the edges. Yes they are 22s on the qx and 19s on the xs
