Nissan Maxima

The Maxima just keeps getting better with age. The silky V6, taut handling and Infiniti levels of interior comfort have kept up with strong competition.

There's 35 more horses for a total of 290, and the Bose stereo now comes included with a 9.3 gigabyte hard drive. Within the Lexus and BMW-inspired design comes a bit of flair from the outrageous GT-R, especially in the headlights.
