Nissan wants to make the Maxima more sportier, it will also said to have about 320 horsepower, and may include limited slip differential or rear wheel drive option.
Did I mention it will look way sexier than the Q50?

Have already seen the Maxima. Can already tell you that, while most of you posted would be cool, it's not happening.
When Infiniti was talking about the Eau Rouge, they were talking $100k WITHOUT the GT-R's rear mounted transaxle setup (A Q50 with the GT-R motor mated to a beefed up version of the 7AT from the Z/Q/G). Absolutely no way the GT-R tranny is happening in a Maxima. If they put the Z powertrain in the Maxima with a 7AT I'd be absolutely thrilled, but that's probably not happening either because the new Max isn't being built on a RWD platform.
IF Nissan were to do anything against the grain with the new Maxima, it'd be an AWD CVT setup akin to that found in the new Murano. That's as far out in left field as it gets.
