Rumor has it this car will show up in the SB commercial on Sunday.

It's really not, roughly the same size as the Altima. Not sure why, they could definitely make it a little bigger.

Yes, that as well as the LMP car just showed up.

They both looked pretty great imo.

I'm glad they decided to show it now instead of waiting until the NY Auto Show in April. Now we can pull the camo off.

Me either. That's the best part about it, that it doesn't look like anything else.

At least it looks like the concept.

Not too fond of it compared to the current shape of the cars. I feel this is just trying too much. I hope that the nismo version looks exactly like the concept those wheels in the commercial take a lot of that aggressive sporty look from it.
Funny thing I saw this car in camo out here some time ago. Nice to see the end product.

I got that impression too when seeing it on the commercial, but the car isn't much bigger than an Altima.
I feel they went with the wrong trim for the commercial. Since it was about a dad that races, they should have went with the sportier SR model with the 19's...

What does the badging say on the right side of the trunk...?

Does the SR have a Nismo package, or have they not gone that far with it yet?

Doubt they will do a Nismo to be honest.

That's too bad considering this would of most likely been the car I trade up to in a couple years.

They are taking their sweet time getting the Sentra Nismo out, so even if they do one for the Maxima, I wouldn't expect it until facelift time.

Okay then, thanks for the info.

I think it's supposed to be Nissans answer to the BMW 5/6 series. However, it too fat, soft to make a potential 5 series buyer think once, much less twice. The second generation car had a wonderful 6 speed (over drive) tranny linked to a really good straight six that was pulled from the old 280z car. With some attention form Nissan engineers and trickle down from the GTR the Maxima could be awesome. The trick would be to keep the sticker price right about 35 with the changes and bump in performance.

I can say that a BMW is nowhere near consideration for a Maxima competitor. Think Toyota Avalon, Kia Cadenza, etc.
