Play Next New Vehicles for 2014: Nissan

Nissan did a swell job maintaining its 2016 Maxima below wraps until the vehicle was officially unveiled at this week’s New York auto show, but now that it is out including pricing ($ 33,235 to $ 40,685), Nissan cannot wait for clients to start ordering them. And so the automaker has introduced its ingeniously named “Build Yours Now” 2016 Maxima reservation system.

The very good/negative news is that you won’t devote all day ruminating on options and other forms of customization, as Nissan has clumped all accessible goodies into its 5 trim levels (S, SL, SV, SR, and Platinum), which offer 9 paint colors and 5 upholstery treatment options among them. So generating a selection may possibly take you all of 3 minutes—unlike the days or weeks 1 can get lost building your dream Porsche Cayman. Regrettably, none of the Maxima’s trim levels include the word “NISMO” but our cash says that such a point at some point will exist. On the vibrant side, order ahead of June 2 and you’ll get 3 years of upkeep incorporated gratis. Head here to verify it out.

Catch that deep-red sedan there at the finish? That, friends, is the new Maxima. Here’s the parting shot:
Truth be told, this production-seeking car in this 90-second spot positive looks a lot like Nissan’s Sport Sedan Concept that we very first laid eyes on at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. At the time, Nissan was adamant that we shouldn’t refer to the notion as the Maxima. Cheeky, Nissan. Go ahead, examine our Detroit images to the vehicle you see above. Even a person as blind as an NFL referee could see the resemblance.Not in the mood for a Maxima? The undoubted star of the industrial was Nissan’s GT-R LM Nismo, the strangely seductive, front-engine racer that Nissan will enter in the LMP1 class at Le Mans.
Yes, Nissan’s betting huge on a front-engine auto to win in the Prototype class at Le Mans, something that hasn’t occurred in more than 50 years. As for that Maxima? Bet on it getting a extremely traditional front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout.
