I think this body would not stand the test of time from an aestetic perspective. Thatsd something I really like about a G35/37. They are classic shapes that never look dated. As modern as that is, I dont think it would last.

 

And here it is.....

 

Still FWD and CVT transmission from what I've read. Shame, damn Maxima's have had potential for years, but they just won't change up the platform to rwd or awd.

 

Since it's been FWD forever why would you expect that to change? RWD or AWD isn't what the car is about.

 

FWD isnt the problem. CVT isnt the problem. Its the "hey we got it working, lets settle for working instead of making it great" mentality.

There are a few CVTs out there that work better than Nissans. And a few FWD platforms that handle better. Subaru and Acura come to mind.

 

it kinda looks like the Altima from the back. it doesn't look bad though. it's probably gonna look nothing like this if it comes out

 

It's already out, It's the new Maxima And I think it's looking similar ! I like it a lot, but wont go back to FWD and don't feel like I want to try de CVT... Having my G automatic was already a big compromise I did to get a AWD car !
