Nissan Maxima

The Maxima is Nissan’s flagship sedan that receives a redesigned exterior, refined interior and a standard CVT transmission for 2007. The sixth-generation midsize sport sedan last received a significant redesign for the 2004 model year with new styling and an increase in performance. The Maxima originally joined the Nissan lineup for the 1981 model year as a rear-wheel-drive sedan and received a V6 engine for the first time in 1984 before the second-generation Maxima switched to a front-wheel-drive configuration. Nissan has referred to the Maxima over the years as a "4-door sports car."
