I remember when the Maxima was a proper, manual sports sedan....now, I would go to one of those Toyota Town Car things if I wanted to be bored on long, straight road trips. I couldn't see dumping damn near $50k into a near luxury land yacht with a snowmobile transmission. Me thinks the Genesis would be the way to go.
Lighten up Francis.....

A nameplate....probably a few inches of rear seat room.

I doubt the current Altima gives up any interior space to the Maxima. But you can no longer get it with the V6. Though you can get it with awd - not available on the Max. Nissan's product decisions are often inscrutable.
