Next Generation Nissan Maxima
 
Just a rendering, but it looks pretty good IMO. Kind of shows where Nissan's design language is heading.

Wow, ton of GTR in there

No way. First Maxima that gets my attention.

If that's accurate, then this is probably the closest rendering we've seen of the next Z:

WTF is up with Nissan's new fronts? Clearly someone in design is a butt-man. Tell him, or her, to ask a buddy about the other end...please. The rest...looks good.

wow, they need to water that tree!

WTF is up with people clearly they need to step back and realize that it's just a rendering not done by nissan but a third party

It'll be interesting where Nissan goes. What should be underlined is the new Altima is better (or equal to at a cheaper price) than the current Maxima. So where is the next Maxima going to go?

At least the current Maxima *can* look decent (though usually the good looking Maximas I see are actually Infiniti Gs!), while the new Altima still has the rental fleet look (though not as bad in the new styling). Still, at some point the Maxima is going to have an identity crisis. It doesn't rate well as an upscale/entry-lux mid-sized sedan and gets trounced by its cousin at Infiniti.

It doesn't help that I couldn't care less about this segment of vehicle. :)



I was and still am pissed that Ford stole the Aston look for the front end of many of its current cars. It's so lovely I hate it for what it is. And I'd hate it if Nissan styled the Maxima with any borrowed elements from the GTR.

That Maxima is bad a$$! Love it! I would so buy one if it looked like that.

Calm down fella. Never said it was done by Nissan, but it was based on a rendering Nissan briefly showed. I even put a link to the article and it clearly says topspeed.com in the watermark.

Never meant it as anything towards you, just got tired of seeing 50 other people reply that it's a horrible design on "Nissans" part...as for the new maxima, i truly hope they go with something in the direction of the rendering as i believe it falls more in line with the rest of their design language.
