I adjusted the headlights, I think it looks a lot better. Still looks way too much like an Infiniti and has traces of a G37, but the kink in the headlights was horrible...

grumpybear · 03-18-2008, 01:35 PM

thanks for the pics...I just threw up my lunch....

SunnyBoo · 03-18-2008, 01:40 PM

Not only are the dealers smoking crack by asking $120k for their GT-errrr, now it seems that Nissan designers are also starting to smoke crack by pulling out car design like this (althougg the interior is not as messed up as the exterior)..............to sum up Nissan = Nossan................

ChaneRZ · 03-18-2008, 03:23 PM

front looks like infiniti and back looks like camry.

Kiemyster · 03-18-2008, 05:58 PM

ahaha its a sad reality, but this is probably the best maxima design yet, and still, id take a nugget of my own shit over this. nissan is heading for the worst these days. but then again, so are alot of automakers.

Year's_End · 03-18-2008, 06:57 PM

More pictures just popped up on Insideline! Definitely not helping it though.

sparkyg · 03-18-2008, 06:58 PM

That is a truly ugly front.

Man, they have lost their way, what the h*ll are they thinking.

There really is nothing good to day about it. The butt is ugly too.

The bumper nose looks like an American car.

Terrible.

Year's_End · 03-18-2008, 06:59 PM

It'd look so much better if that lower kink was gone from the headlights! That elevated 3/4 front shot would actually kinda work if that was the case. The wheels are typical Nissan in design. Something about them looks Nissan-ish, just as BMW wheels look very BMW-y, and so on.

Year's_End · 03-18-2008, 07:03 PM

I'm looking at the front of this thing and it just doesn't relate to any other Nissan product in any way, shape or form. Completely different compared to the Altima coupe which is the last Nissan to have come out. Nissans are usually very geometrical and technical looking, with a similar roofline shared across the range. This looks much more curvy and organic, much like an Infiniti. I just don't know...not working at all...it does look more upscale than the outgoing Maxima though...that I will admit.

1WickedE90 · 03-18-2008, 07:06 PM

The first two photos make the car look like a 4x4 sedan

It looks bland to me.

jetblk328i · 03-18-2008, 07:11 PM

hmm

front:lancerish....nasty headlights
back:yaris?
interior:not bad

ugly lol

shiggy · 03-18-2008, 09:15 PM

WOW....that will go down as one of the ugliest front ends of all time!

Was my PS what you had in mind?

Year's_End · 03-18-2008, 10:18 PM

Yeah, funny thing is I did the exact same thing myself on CS2 around the same time you did that. lol

ianbiz · 03-18-2008, 10:39 PM

Looks like the had the clay block all done, and someone took a knife and cut the front nose off.

Greeney · 03-18-2008, 10:50 PM

Jesus, what happened.

davedave · 03-18-2008, 10:54 PM

i'm lost ...

Rick Hunter · 03-19-2008, 02:08 AM

Ugly as it is, though... it still looks better than the current generation.

I disagree, they both are quite ugly.

ROTORHEAD77 · 03-19-2008, 06:36 AM

What do you want to bet that vehicle is designed by Nissan USA, and will be built in Tennessee of Mexico. I have $5 that says that car isn't a Nissan Japan product, and will not be sold here. That thing is hideous!

Nissan Japan makes a fine product by the way! And those saying that they ripped off the interior from an Infiniti...doh...Nissan is Infiniti. Infiniti is a Vain badge made up for the western world.
