LMAO! I said "I drive a Nissan" for a year...and then it was "I drive what I always wanted"....The prestige of an MBZ is unbelievable! If you are leasing...who cares about warranties etc. Get the A, B, C service thrown in and you are good to go for Maintenence. Plus the Benz will hold it's value better down the road if you decide to buy the lease out at the end.

That's the old Maxima, the new one looks like this....



still ugly, but no more bucktooth.

Harsh. I wouldn't call it ugly. I think it looks rather nice. A more aggressive approach from Nissan. But to each his own.

Cyclopsracer

+1 on the Ugly

snarlingchicken

And here come the MBZ elitists.....

OP, where are you located? Here in socal, a dealer offered me ~$34,000 exc. tax+reg fees on a G37 with sport and premium packages. So it would be a G37S sedan. With premium package. No navi, but still.

I used to own a Nissan....they are nice for a regular car....nothing screams "SWEET!" like a Mercedes.

Well, either way, Nissan and Daimler just made an alliance for MBZ's 4 cylinder engines to put in their G's. Either way, inside of a Nissan, or technically an Infiniti, will be part of us.

Yeah, I did a double take when I read that. Good to know that MB can build some fine diesels.
I have owned several Nissans in the past, includind a 96 Maxima and found them to be good cars. There really is a difference in the way the cars "feel" though and as long as my C holds up for at least 5 years, I just may be a Benz driver for life.
As far as the styling on the new Maxima...I can't totally disagree with the ugly comments but feel "overstyled" may be more fitting.

I bought a Maxima new a few years back. Great car, but a not a Mercedes. I hate the looks of the new one. In my opinion, no matter what a car is equipped with, if you hate looking at it in your driveway, you'll regret it.

Get the Benz lol and your in NJ Welcome! =)

How do you install the eyelids and the HID fogs? ill pay someone in NJ if they can install for me...

Spec_Davis

eyelids and HID's are very Ez to do and it will take about an half and hour. Use Polargs for your eyelids and DDM for your HID's

MJL21

i have no idea how to take the bumper off or anything like that

i will mess it up, i played sports all my life and now work on wall street i have never ever done any mods to a car....

Spec_Davis

haha okay i use to work in NYC Lower Manhattan near the "Bull". No bumper removal needed eyelids are plug n play and Fogs you just use a hex tool to remove the plastic frame and from there it is simple. =) Where do you live?

Buy the car, not the badge.

Take each car out for an hour or so to a road that you enjoy driving (smooth, lots of curves, some straights etc.), by yourself, no salesmen/friends/girlfriend and just do some soul searching. Turn the radio off and listen to the car, does it speak to you at all?

I've always been happiest purchasing cars when I took no one else's opinion into account. You're buying it, you're driving it...you need to absolutely love it.

MJL21

exactly..i didnt really get to test drive the benz all that much, i wish i couldve took it out for longer

spec davis, i live in holmdel NJ... and i have no idea what you just said, im sure it is easy but as i said i know nothing about cars, nor do i have the tools at my place to do the installation, im not lazy i can prob get it done if i take an entire saturday and do it. but i still think id mess it up

Spec_Davis

MJL21 i live in Old Bridge haha so your just up route 9.

MJL21

yeah about a 10 minute drive...i know a lot of people from old bridge, my ex is from old bridge...

maybe ill throw you some bucks and you can install the fogs and eyelids for me?

Spec_Davis

i have yellow bulbs no HID yet

charliele729

SO MJ, I am assuming that went with the C over the Maxima?

MJL21

yeah picking it up tomorrow

i had a choice of AMG wheels or take 15 bucks off per month, you guys think i should take the amg wheels or take the 15 bucks off per month? 15 bucks isnt a lot to me but are the AMG alloys they put on nice?

and if anyone in the NJ area can install HID fogs or eyelids for me ill throw you the money for the install. .

charliele729

Defintely opt for the 18" AMG rims, it make the car look a whole world difference. Congrats.

MJL21

alright.........thanks

Spec_Davis

drop the AMG wheels and just buy some aftermarket wheels or reps.
