74 comments and nobody else seems to think those tail lights have an uncanny resemblance to the ones on the Toyota Yaris?

sohi who told you that? :S

“Update: The 2009 Nissan Maxima comes with a standard 3.5-litre V6 with 290 hp and 353 Nm of torque, mated to a CVT transmission and front-wheel-drive.”

maybe the 380 is an option?

of course shifting in mode ( D ) is faster than tiptronic in both A/T and CVT just in drag race

mash…am sure you got angry
64 comments

and let assassin look at the link and read some comments…maybe…he will be convinced that the CVT is not S**t from nissan…CVT is the future…and toyota tried to use it but they failed
its just for those who have real engineers not for tea boys

no man…you didnt get my point here…and in the maxima with the DS mood, am sure that its faster than the tiptronic…..OK till know every thing is OK….now… WHAT ABOUT THE CVT WITHOUT THE (DS) MODE????thats what i was trying to say from the beginning . are we sure that the CVt in the normal mode is ALSO faster than the tiptronic….this is the point here. if the normal case is enough to beat the tiptronic and it gives the fastest acc. then why there is a DS mode???? just for fun i think
in the altima the case is different…as nissan people said…the CVT in the maxima is not the same as the CVT in any another car…its tuned to give you what you want and wish. its true that the altima has the CVT but we are not sure if it is tuned to be faster than the tiptronic, thats why we cant say here or lets say ‘assume’ that the CVT is the best here. BUT IT CAN BE IF THEY (NISSAN) WANT.
BTW: if you get any offical information about which one is better just can you inform me so maybe when i want to race i will chose the best

i already read that before and had included it in one of my previous posts (about the Ds mode in maxima).
so the use of paddle shifters enhance cornering abilities? that is funny because the CVT automatically chooses the best and appropriate ‘gear’ ratio for you. if you do not believe me then listen to this. in 1993 Williams F1 team had introduced CVT in their F1 car and had David Coulthard take it around the British grand prix track. the car was way faster than the regular geared f1 transmissions. infact the car was so fast through the straights and corners that they banned it. here is a video of it in action and the driver telling you how much better it is through the corners.

CB: just can you read this:
i will comment on it later:
Ds mode takes advantage of the CVTâ€™s infinite selections of available gear ratios and is able to select the right gear, the right time, all the time. This enhances the emotional, sporty feel while driving on canyon roads or city streets. Whether it is upshifting through the gears while accelerating, or automatic engine braking (downshifting) when coming into a corner, Ds mode is able to match vehicle speed and engine rpm with the driverâ€™s intended acceleration input. Ds mode, combined with the sound creator, creates an emotional experience not available on any other CVT vehicle.

Available paddle shifters, mounted on the steering column, allow manual transmission shift changes for varying scenarios â€“ such as winding roads â€“ while the driverâ€™s hands remain on the wheel for optimum vehicle control.

can you tell me what is the HP for every car

the old 2006 G35 has the same engine of 2008 altima, but G53 is faster a little bit, tell me why……..

BTW: assassin, the 6A trans. is the same in the lexus ES350 as the Aurion…just to let you know…

hi assassin…
you want to know why we are so happy with the CVT????!!!!!
and what you are saying is that if toyota doesnt have CVT then its not good…OMG…next time, nissan should take the aproval from toyota to use the CVT . and who told you there are no toyota cars with CVT (look it up URself in the internet for some american version cars) or ask mash
the second thing is the auto transmission in the aurioun(i dont know how its written ). since you mentioned that point…go to toyota4arab web site and look at the aurion and the ES350 auto transmission problem that they have….and this didnt happen to one or even ten persons…most of their owners complain about a problem while changing from the 3rd-4th gear ratio(its like a huge shock while changing)..some of them didnot notice that…but they are saying they send a request for toyota to look at this problem(and they call it lexus and compare it with BMW and Mercedes in its quite environment)…lexus people are happy because they are increasing the gear transmissions in their cars to compit with the germans(i think now they have 8 speed trans. in the LS)…in nissan, they have infiniti number of gear ratios in their trans. (in my opinion this CVT system is better that the trans. of even the RR which cost around 3 million dirhams). imagine that…am not saying that because only am a nissan fan boy…even the new lancer it has CVT.
