Everyone thinks of those when they hear Nissan, not the Z
The Maxima hardly falls into that price range, try 32k up to 40K virtually the same price range as the 370. The only one of the newer Nissans that gets any respect is their bread and butter Altima, GTR and Sentra somewhat, with out Altima Nissan North America would be in serious trouble. The reason the Z nor Maxima hardle get any respect anymore is because of Nissan itself, they let the current ones languish around from 09 to current without significant changes and no power increases etc etc. Not to mention how far behind in tech they are to newer competitors. The Z and Maxima have the most loyal following still and HAD the most respect in the Nissan lineup until recent years. ... I respect the GTR as its been updated virtually every year but not its 100+ K price.
