    Nissan Briefly Shows Us The Next Maxima

      Surprise! Nissan Reveals the new Maxima.. and their LMP1 racer

    Nissan decided to their commercial on the Super Bowl to reveal two new cars. The first is their LMP1 racer that will enter Le Mans in June. What makes their racer stand out is that it happens to be a front-engine model, not the mid-engine variety that has been part of endurance racing for quite awhile.

    Now for the big surprise of the ad. Towards the end of the ad, there's a peculiar sedan draped in red which looks very familiar to the Sports Sedan Concept shown at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. Before it fades to black, we see the back of the sedan where the Maxima nameplate appears.

    We'll likely learn more about the Maxima in the coming months. In the meantime, you can check out Nissan's ad below.

    This will likely stand as the biggest surprise from this years Super Bowl. Never expected that.

     

    Anyways, it sure is a weird looking thing, like the concept that previewed it. A Murano sedan.

    Cool thing to reveal an all new model unexpectedly on a commercial, to drum up interest. Too bad it's a Nissan, but otherwise was a decent move. Drum up interest, even if the car itself wasn't that interesting.

     

    I never say "that looks like" but it does look like a new Avalon, a lot so.

    I thought the Budweiser commercial with the puppy was the best. Over all this year was a complete let down and just sucked for the commercials.

     

    Over all I was not impressed with the Nissan commercial. Most commercials left you with the who or what was the message.

     

    Nissan commercial was a joke as the kid was a teen and too little too late to show up as a dad. That was the stronger message than about the auto's.

      Quick Update & Event Invite

      By knightfan26917 · Posted

      * I have thought about visiting-posting many times the last couple months, but despite having actually drafted a post or 2 [including choice responses in the Random Thoughts Thread], did not. So, why now? To invite you to a gathering I am hosting THIS weekend! Short notice, but sometimes impromptu-spontaneous gatherings are needed. 2 experiences prompted this last-minute decision. First, just over a month go, I found out the restaurant that hosted my MidSummer Chitown Gatherings ~20 years ago is under new ownership interested in hosting events in 2026 [details on those later]. Second, among developing health issues (including a hernia), I had a scare a week or so ago relative to heart failure. Sparing you the long story (written on social media), bottom line, luckily, no heart failure (at least not yet, ha). But, the thought of that sparked wakeup calls. Thus, my decision to forge ahead with a gathering yet this year.

      There used to be a fair number of Canadians on the forum.  Things change over time.
