them, like many here do probably.
Now of course I probably wouldn't buy any of these even if I had the money, but they're still kind of intersting.
First, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
Next, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . I do like the 4-cylinder engine for better fuel economy, and the folding hardtop is cool, BUT, unfortunately this was the beginning of the end for German cars, Mercedes included, as the start of the New Malaise Era.
And finally, . Now, I used to LOVE these cars, and I really do like the 4-door sports car, and this Maxima is VERY powerful and fairly light for such a large car, and it has all the features I want, manual transmission, good cupholders, heated seats, CD player, and a sunroof. Plus this one is in the best color for the Maxima, that awesome shade of gray. And this one is only $2000.
BUT, unfortunately, it has a HUGE demerit: the EVIL transverse V6 engine. Sorry, but the 1MZ in my Lexus has REALLY soured me on cars like that, and I am DONE using enhanced interrogation techniques to get to the back of the engine.

AT least the VQ in that Maxima is not leaned back like the 1Mz is in every Toyota product they shoved it in.

OMG I fucking hate that!!!!!!
They did it with the VZ's too (my previous car was an ES250 with the 2VZ). Now, the reasoning for doing it with the VZ is because it's such a tall block, designed mainly for trucks.
But they didn't need to do it for the MZ because I don't think any MZ engine went into any truck!

The Maxima is an awesome car.
They are stupid difficult to work on, from what I've heard. It's quite a shame.
And they don't have a real excuse, that engine is a longitudinal engine for the 300ZX, they just turned it over for the FWD version to fit a new transmission.
And here are mine:
Favorite Supra, and its a Targa. Needs engine/engine work. Could you imagine an LS1 swap...?
SR20DET w/cam and intake.

I heard the 300ZX is equally a bitch to work on, so I guess that transferred too!
An LS Supra would be cool as hell!
