Nissan Restored Luke Aker's 1996 Nissan Maxima--Then We Drove It - Motor Authority
About a year ago, Luke Aker created a hilarious Craigslist ad for his 1996 Nissan Maxima GLE ironically titled, "Luxury Defined. The ad went viral, and Nissan saw it for what it was, a chance to jump in the fray and keep the Maxima name out there until an all-new car is ready next year. Nissan bought the Maxima--and they reached out to Motor Authority fans to determine what should be done with the car. Nissan's done just that, and we drove it. But what do you do with a car nearly 20 years old. Nissan has spent over six months putting time and money into the Maxima.
