Pretty obtuse statement. I travel a fair amount and like to try different cars. I am able to pick them with my rental car company.

I snagged a Maxima yesterday and well...talk about *disappointment*. They still have the '4DSC' tag which was true in the 90's but now...ick.

Having rented enough 4 cylinder Sonata's recently, its a better car feature for feature. The Max has a better steering wheel, but the 3.5 is rougher then it should be, the CVT is meh, interior trim OK but not what it should be for their flagship sedan at all.

The Maxima feels far heavier then the 3400-3500 lbs its listed at.

Other then styling...its hardly differentiated from the Altima.

If you said here's 25K you must buy one of the other...Nissan would lose here if it was my money.
