@condor
actually its, corolla/civic/sentra accord/camry/altima maxima/avalon, I am not disputing how the cars were places many generations ago, but in the last 2 generations atleast this has been the case, maxima has been more expensive than both the accord and camry whereas altima has been right about the same price, altima has the 2 engine options where which is a 4 banger and a V6. anyhow in todays time my statement still holds..

Unfortunately the time when maxima is changing for the worse is when we are getting to have a feel for that awesome awesome car..

The current generation is soo much sexier than the accord and the camry but the new teana has been spoted and if thats whats replaces the maxima in US, it wouldnt be too good i feel :( i want this 1 yr of last gen to come to india that would give a great option to people to choose between, accord, camry, superb and maxima.

Altima has a choice of engines comparable to the performance of maxima, hopefully maxima would not be missed. The body looks great too.
