Why???

juicybusa · 08-12-2009, 12:11 PM

Being that I'm located somewhat close to Nissan in Smryna, I occassionally spot a test mule here and there. Saw a vehicle yesterday with the familiar Nissan family look but with subtle differences I couldn't readily quantify. Guess what it was???? 2 door Maxima!!!!!!!! Maybe Nissan's version of an old man's Z. LOL

Hopefully that one doesn't burn through a quart of oil every 1k miles!

Caravanshaka · 08-12-2009, 01:04 PM

Roo, give it a rest and keep it in the topics about oil...

Wow...are you sure it was a Maxima? That would be cool if Nissan made a 2 door version of the Maxima...the new one is a major improvement over the 6th gen.

Ain't gonna happen. No one makes a full size sedan into a coupe anymore and haven't for years. Not cost effective and the sales are not there..............

Liquid_G · 08-12-2009, 04:23 PM

hmmm 2 door maxima? i doubt it.. the max is the 4DSC baby... I should know..

Cadillac is getting ready to do it with the CTS. I love Maximas and I think it would be a great idea.

FuszNissan · 08-12-2009, 06:08 PM

There is a new coupe coming out next year for Nissan. Entry level coupe maybe

I figured the Altima coupe was the entry level coupe? Though a sub-20k car coupe might be a good idea, maybe.

CBRich · 08-12-2009, 06:20 PM

How do you know it was Maxima? Was that just a guess?

510z · 08-12-2009, 06:52 PM

maybe its a 240sx/silvia

FuszNissan · 08-12-2009, 06:53 PM

Well I know that they are re-designing the sentra to look more like the maxima.

Caravanshaka · 08-12-2009, 07:00 PM

good call, the sentra is REALLY boxy
