I see a very strong Infiniti resemblance in those real-life pics.

Wow it looks good in these pictures, dare I say bad ***? Especially in the front, wide and low and mean.

New Max looks good! For that money I dont think you can find more agressive and sportier fullsize car! Interior is huge plus! Nissan did a good job here it almost looks like there were no trade offs.

Default 2009 Nissan Maxima

I dont really care but it annoys me my 07 GS doesn't have the side blinker lights on the mirrors but this car does...


I know the 08 one does, but still.

I like. A couple of angles showed a familial resemblance to the G35. I think some lines hit people differently.

I took my son (7 years old) to McDonald's right after test driving the GS. As we walked out, there was a brand new Avalon right outside the door. He said "That's the same car we just drove."

I was surprised. After I spanked him for the insult to the GS... jk

I thought it was neat that while he wasn't familiar with either car and they don't really look alike, he caught some glint of a line that had family resemblance.

Just FYI.. the link you provided is for a 2009 Maxima.. The '08 GS still had them sooner.

The new Maxima has the profile of a 5 series now. This is kind of a pointless comparo. All new cars will evolve with new features year after year.
