I agree that it's aging ok for being a sports car. I love my Z and busy cabin will drive me crazy. I was just saying that those Maximas are becoming like a luxury car nowadays. Nonetheless, I love my Z and the sexy curves. The Z32 was pretty cool on the inside too.

Well, they can keep the CVT tranny. I didn't care for the one in my 08'. We are still rocking my wife's 03' Maxima with 86k miles. That one is staying. Paid for is good.

Yes, I just looked at a new 2016 Maxima today while my Z was in for it's 10,000 mile service. Very nice interior. I'm curious how the new Bose noise cancelling feature works. Supposedly the 2016 Z will have this as well. I don't think Nissan wants the Z to be too much like a luxury interior or it will start to get too expensive just like the 300zx did before Nissan went into a Z hiatus and stopped making them altogether.

They already make a Z for people who can't be bothered to put up with the inconveniences of owning a true sports car. It's called the G37.

I love my Z interior, it certainly puts the rental car feel of the Camaro or Mustang interior to shame. Though, I must admit if you havent seen a new Maxima interior, it is pretty damn sweet. Looks way above its price range, super plush and a definite improvement. The maxima is by no means fast with its cvt and under 300 hp, but the interior is

It's also getting: - The Corvette engine with 455/455 HP/tq - Magnetic ride as an option - Performance exhaust with valves to open for extra volume in sport/track modes. - Driving modes that change various parameters like steering wheel, shocks, and exhaust - Adjustable gauge cluster that changes based on driving mode selected - Losing 200+ pounds model-to-model when compared to the outgoing 5th gen Camaro. They did this by moving to the Caddy ATS-V platform which makes the car smaller in almost all dimensions. |

Maxima
Saw a couple of them Thursday while getting an oil change done.
No worries….too large (the last generation appeared to be smaller than Altimas, to me anyway, not so much this one) and it'll take a long time to get used to the looks. I'll pass thanks. Wouldn't buy the first year anyway. 104 |

Hardly updated every 2 years, the prior Maxima came out at the same time as the Z and went from 09 to 14 model (15 really they just skipped the model year but 14's had an extended model year run). That Maxima and 370 were neglected by Nissan as they did not do much to update them since 09, competitors were updated and left them in the dust technology wise.....
