Man, this is a HUGE step up from the Altima. It’s quick, comfortable and it even did pretty well on gas with my heavy foot (Over 30MPG). AMA

Interestingly my Lexus gets around 26. Pretty good for a 4.0L V8 in a 4000+ pound car.

Yup. GS400 is only other one and it weights in the mid-high 3000s. I would love to own a GS460 though.

I had looked at a newer GS not too long ago. The funds weren’t right at the time though.

I think Nissan’s current design language is over-styled. The Maxima is the only one that seems to wear it well. I do like the tail lights, too.

700 miles through TX and you didn’t stop by my house?

You can get some early 2010s for a great value. Especially the 460/450h(which is actually a rocket)

Because you are in charge of buying fleet vehicles for National Rental Car. I think that is who bought the one I drove.

The interior is laid out nicely as well. The altima takes cue’s from the maxima but I think the Nissan engineers just thought “We cant have the Altima look as good as the Maxima”.

I stopped by TWICE actually. Nobody answered. Must have been Oppo-ing.

I was going to say something like, “the last one is much better looking,” but then I looked at pictures of the last one.

They’re both sort of blandly aggressive with long noses.

Well then they succeeded in that respect. My rental Altima was awful.

Yeah I don’t take Altima’s anymore. Camry if I booked a full-size all the way.

GT-R yes, 370z no..... the 370z is the same dang thing as the 350z that came out in 2003 (probably the same way that the 2017 porsche 911 is the same car as the 1967 911 )
