yea that is nice... another thing about the TL type-S is that it is only around 30,000, way less then the infiniti's you people are still babbling about and you get better performance in all aspects. |

"What’s left to be said about the brilliant Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. "VQ" 3L DOHC V-6? It’s won a Ward’s 10 Best Engines award every year since its launch in 1995. And in winning yet again this year, the 3L VQ becomes the only engine to be a seven-time winner. Every year since we inaugurated the 10 Best Engines competition in 1995, the 3L VQ has won a place.
See, I was right! :D :D |

first of all maxima is a jap car, and second i know many cars under $25,000 that will not get blown away by a maxima. take like a integra type R. RSX type S. maximas 0-60 are 7.9 auto, 7.0 manual. whats so crazy about that and woooah 222 hp, a tank has 3000 hp, it must travel at light speed!

There have been FOUR maximas in my family, and I am driving an Infinity now.

OK..fine you won't listen to talk about awards. I have a 98 Maxima. Same engine that the new 3.5L is based on. I AM TELLING YOU that this engine is simply amazing. the torque, the fuel economy, the maintainance-free. Who ever designed the VQ series engines at Nissan recieves MY approval for sure!! No Other Jap company has an engine in this class that will beat Nissan. THe 3.2L thats in the TL is better than my 98, but nissans new 3.5L will destroy that. They got 255horses out of that for the Maxima, and over 280Horsepower out of it for teh new Nissan 350z sports car. Honda isn't doing anything special lately, believe me. Seems like Honda designs engines for specs on paper. For example, look at the S2000. Honda claims "first to design Most Horsepower per Liter". ok thats wonderful. They get 240hp out a 2.0 engine. Bravo, yet the thing has like 160lb/ft of torque. Absolute garbage. You have to rev up to redline and dump the clutch on that car to make it go anywhere. Don't get me wrong, I almost bought a honda. I was very interested in a 98 Acura Integra GS-R. I drove it for a couple of days. The VTEC had me impressed at first, but I realized that to have any fun in that car, i had the tach constantly above 4500rpm. Wut's the point in that? I'm soo happy I chose the Maxima instead. |

| Ya i saw the coupe coming out of the g35 and dat shieeeeet is sooooooooooooooooo nice. but how much is it gona be going for u got ne idea? 32's? or more. but its really nice, hopefully its not running too much, and it comes out within a few months. cuz its definetly nicer then the 4 door, the 4 door is way too fukin big. either the a4 or 2door g35 seems just bout right, the Lexus i just realized is totally out of range, i see one every 5 minutes on the street nowadays, its too played out, i'd settle for the a4 1.8t or the g35 coupe. |

Well, what do you consider a reputable place? Just because you have not heard of Wards Auto does not make them a place that "just gives away awards?"

Audi.. plus i'd not go for the fully loaded stuff.. I mean, you don't need 90% of the stuff!
automatic windows/ sunroof, yeah, but what else do you -really- need? auto-cupholders? or what?!?!!? |

It does, you just havent seen :D It really needs the HP to overcome all the heavy metal mass and artillery i guess, nothing special. Regular tanks are already pushing it at 90kmph lol. |

for your information i was giving the example that even though it may have alot of HP dont mean its fast. power:weight ratio.
and no it cant travel at light speeds, light speed is not 90 kmph. we never even invented a vehicle that travels at light speed. |
