I am very skeptical about the veracity of this. I too work for a manufacturing company, albeit in R&D. So one of the things I do know is new product introduction or existing product elimination are some of the most highly guarded corporate secrets until the company is ready to announce the event publicly. It is then and only then that the news spreads outside the company.

So either you misheard things, or a bunch of people were incompetent here.

So sad, so much better than any Altima. It shall never be replaced.

If the Max is going to 2023, I don't see a new design coming in that time, too short. But, I could see Nissan throw lots of updated sheet metal on the current setup.

Nissan needs to go back and look at the late 95-04 + maxima's and ask thierselves why they were better than Altima and what they had that made the car reliable and get rid of the cvt auto crap and get some manuals back with some good packages that they once had. the 09-14 maxima looked good but the cvt in all of the maximas along with the cheap plastic intake manifold that's sucks. the new load of solenoids and control valves solonoids than the past maximas with crap loads of emissions sensors.

Ford Fusion Sport is exactly that, 6 speed, AWD, turbo, less $$ than Maxima.

Fwiw, my opinion is that new cars suck. I don't have one and don't want one. A buyer has to pay thru the nose in payments or huge cash payout and then reliability after warranty is questionable.

Govt regulations haven't helped but today's designers and managers that push engineering crap is beyond disgusting.

For the price of new cars and stagnant wages it's dumb purchases. The only way the monster can be fed is if banks approve longer and longer loans. Nobody will truly own one of the newer ripoff cars because it will always be a payment arrangement.

Makes me sick. Stupid economics and poor decisions by consumers.

I don't believe modern cars will last and certainly not as long as my 2000 maxi.

My opnion. Thanks for listening.

hard to argue with that. my 95 Max turned 25yo this month., and I bought it new back then. I still drive it like I stole it daily. I have been waiting for a non CVT Max that is AWD and an actual 4DSC .
I was looking at infinity but the recent ones seem to be crap as well with lots of trans issues.

I agree my 03 is still good 127k I also have 2012 that had remanufactured transmission and ac compressor replaced and a bu.ch of other things gs less miles and only 6 yrs old when I replaced transmission

Funny - it's designed to compete with cars that barely sell 17k units a year.
Versus pickup trucks which move millions.

There was only one real Maxima. I say bring it on.

With Acura releasing there next gen TLX with a 2.0 Turbo engine and a turbo 3.0 maybe Nissan will take note and finally put some long needed attention into the Maxima.
