2016 Nissan Maxima is the latest evolution of the 4-door sports car - CNET
The Nissan Maxima turns 35 this year, having started life in 1980 as a boxy machine that epitomized everything that was wrong with design cues at the time. Thank goodness, the new 2016 Maxima looks great. Perhaps that explains the huge "Nissan" badge on the nose, but though it may not be unique in every design cue, it all works. Strong, flowing creases and arches providing strong definition of fenders. It's longer and lower than its outgoing predecessor, an unfortunate trend that continues unabated, but it is at least lighter than before: 82 pounds less to be specific, tipping the scales at 3,471. That extra length delivers stability on the road... My six-foot frame was a little cramped in the driver's seat on cars equipped with a sunroof, while sitting upright in the rear seats is completely out of the question. It was Slouch City back there for me. The seats are, to say the least, quite comfortable. I figure those quilted inserts are bound to look dated in a few years, but they are at least plush, hitting the right balance between supportive and comforting. As in years past, Nissan is labeling this at four-door sportscar, or 4DSC. Source: www.cnet.com
