I'll take the new one since I have one.  2nd gen is nice too!

I voted for the 1st-gen, but primarily because I was very pleased to get an uncrowded shot of one good shape.

That's a 2nd gen...and actually it's a 3rd gen if you count the Datsun 810.

I meant the first generation posted, and 1st-gen is simpler to say.

Why did you skip an entire generation? I like those the most...

EDIT: 2 generations... I like the 95 - 99s

Easily my favorite.

Sorry!  I picked the ones I thought people would care most about.  I sort of forgot that the 4th gen (95-99) was probably the most popular model, despite the fact that my parents still have one with 250k miles on the clock.  Don't think I can edit the poll at this point.

You can, and I believe there's even a setting to let people change their votes.

Or you could just start another topic between different Maxima generations.

OK, I edited the poll and fixed it.  Reset the vote counts to zero.  Couldn't find a pic for the first gen (1976-1980), but all the others are there.

The middle one, easily. Very nice looking car.

The third gen is a bit on the porky side, but I can't help but really like it.  5 speed SE with loaded with leather, please.

Wow. I dislike all of them.

the grandma car?
i like it but somehow, that generation attracted a lot of old people(or so i think, anyways)

i voted middle picture this time around. it's like a transition phase between the square and rounded models.

Me too :ohyeah:

The new one looks really nice. I think the ones in black look very nice and look a bit more expensive then they actually are.
