2016 Nissan Maxima Review: 'Four-Door Sports Car' Meets Luxury Cruiser - International Business Times
has positioned the Maxima at the top of its lineup for the better part of three decades now, labeling it 4DSC: a four-door sports car. The all-new 2016 Nissan Maxima isn’t the second coming, but it doesn’t have to be. The 2016 Maxima comes in a variety of trims, from the base S model to the loaded Platinum. Nissan sent us an SR, a sport package. But even in sport trim, the Maxima has better things to do than feed your speed vice. The Maxima is striking, with a mix of hard angles and gentle waves that combine to form a mostly cohesive, mostly attractive design. However, I can’t help but see a cartoon villain’s upturned mustache when I look at the Maxima’s face. The Maxima has an obscenely high beltline, like most modern cars, and its thick pillars and sweeping rear arches mean you won’t be able to see much out of it, but it manages to stand out for one simple reason: It looks like a much more expensive car. In a sea of Ford Tauruses and Toyota Avalons, the Maxima looks like it’s about $20,000 more expensive. That feeling continues inside, where the Maxima begins to hint at what it really is: a luxury cruiser. Source: www.ibtimes.com
