Scott Sturgis/Driver's Seat: 2016 Nissan Maxima makes a good first impression - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
First drive: 2016 Nissan Maxima. What it is: The eighth incarnation of the largest Nissan sedan. Price: $32,410 to $39,860. When it’s on sale: Began arriving in dealerships on June 3. Debut: When I received an email about the new Maxima, I thought, “Oh, ho hum, a new Nissan. The new Maxima is the latest installment in the company’s revamped lineup, which has given new looks to the Rogue and Murano, and coming at the end of the year, the Titan full-size pickup. A short drive: The team of automotive journalists was invited to get a first look at the new Maxima. I rode shotgun, and Maxima product manager Vishnu Jayamohan educated us on the car from the back seat. Nissan interiors have always been one of the company’s brightest spots. The high-line Maxima competes with the nicest cars out there, with soft dash and door panels trimmed with a diamond-pattern nickel. Corporate reps focused on the comfortable seats — called zero-gravity seats — and they lived up to the billing. We switched into an SR performance model, and I found the new 3. 5-liter V-6’s 300 horsepower’s performance impressive. Source: www.post-gazette.com
