NAIAS 2014: Nissan Shows Maxima Concept

by Jack Baruth

Presumably this is, somehow, the next Maxima. But how much is actual production body shape and how much is gingerbread?

Even in Concept Land, Nissan’s chosen to power this “Sport Sedan Concept” with the existing 3.5L V-6 and Xtronic CVT combo from the current V-6. What makes this car interesting/different is the “V-Motion” front end, the merits of which will have to be left to the viewer.

So Renault and AMC were a good fit after all. Meet the 2014 Matador concept.

Verbal Rented a Malibu a while back. It was fine, if a bit gutless.I get that Detroit wants to go all-in on high profit margin SUVs and blinged-out MAGA trucks. Everyone has known for decades that they can't compete on price in the affordable sedan space. So now all of Detroit's sedans are gone except for a couple of Cadillac models.But you'd think that just one of the domestic brands could produce a fun, competitive and affordable sedan. Just one? Please? Anyone? Bueller?
