Take a fast five minute tour of the New York Auto Show
2009 Nissan Maxima
Nissan rolls out the seventh generation of the Maxima, the company’s largest sedan that isn’t an Infiniti. It used to be a head-to-head competitor with the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord, but has moved upmarket to compete with cars like the Toyota Avalon and other entry-level luxury sedans. With a 290-horsepower V-6 engine and sport-tuned suspension, Nissan hopes to recapture the mantle of “Four Door Sports Car,” a moniker it gave to the Maxima in 1990.
