Nissan Maxima (A34). 2004–8 (prod. n/a). 4-door sedan. F/F, 3498 cm³ (V6 DOHC). A real departure from the earlier Cefiro-based model, with Nissan giving A34 a unique look, distinct from anything in Japan. On FF-L platform, related to that of the Nissan Teana (J31) and Nissan Altima (L31). US-made for North American market. Production commenced January 2003 as 2004 model. Roomy, with smooth V6, and a good balance between luxury and sportiness, but some interior materials below par for Nissan’s North American sedan flagship.
