but at least you speak the truth. hey, your point #1 is the reason why makeup exists....... #2, WORD! the number of kept ex high school queens i know is very high. they realized their looks could get them the stay at home gig (which to some degree has merit, but not like many of them milk it for). i'm not going to continue on on that topic other than to say your boobs will sag and you'll grow a tummy and at some point your nagging may turn your lucrative revenue generator away.

AGREED. a 260hp turbo ecotec with 6 speed in this would be badass...the 3.6 would be too heavy just like the honda mill makes the front end too heavy in the vue and definitely build the 2 door too!

did the 07 Max get the outgoing Altimas gauges and gauge hood?

get an SE-R with the nice bolstered seats while you still can!

frankly, Nissan lost it here!

if i may post this

the new center stack looks a bit G6ish meets 3000GT and lower part meets accord with very GM parts bin looking radio and climate control knobs and its NOT that great!

you beat me to it! there is "another forum" that is posting an interior pic!

exterior- not much change interior- minor revisions really. improvements for sure, but its still the suede bathtub. at least they fixed the gauges.

go to autoblog.com until they get on here

thanks, now the TEK in my gagrage doesn't feel so hurt anymore...LOL

NISSAN the new RESKIN kings.....

JOe, you are a WILD MAN! probably a lot wilder than that dull Josh character.

Mr Lutz, why the cheesy parts bin corporate radio and climate control? They look cheap and need an upgrade.

THE AZTEK GRILLE!!!!!

good to hear things are going much better.! so, why waste time.....! next lesson......all women are versions of their mother. should you ever want a bit of a preview to see what your girlfirend will turn out like -how will they look when they are 50 or 60 or whatever....thin, fat, great ass? bad hair? -what is their attitude about sex and how to treat a man in the hey -what is their attitudes about family and religion -do they have a taste for fine cuisine or do they make horrible down home cooking and think its the cats meow -are they tight asses with money or have no regard -whether or not they are a nag to their husbands, children and family -does she tell everyone what to do or does she shut up and keep her peace. -does she aspire to have a career longer than when you get the keys to the new house and have the first baby or is she merely pretending to care until you can allow her to stay home my good buddy once said, 'want to know what your wife will be like in 30 years? take a good hard look at their mother'' DO NOT EVER PROFESS TO A WOMAN HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT HER UNTIL YOU'VE PERFORMED A THOROUGH EVALUATION OF HER MOTHER! Make sure you do the background check first! oh, and check what major they are.......$$$$$$ does matter, regardless of what some say/////////

i loved rabbits when i was a kid. neat.

how can Nissan's VQ get any better? 6 speed and new engine? HMMMMM this could be interesting kinda looks like a shortened cab forward maxima with a 3 series crook in the window. personally though, i hope Nissan delivers some serious blows to Honda and Toyota this year. ever notice (and it shows up here too) how badly Nissan does at matching plastic rear bumper finishes to the adjacent sheet metal? Even on Maximas and stuff....the paint and sheen and the way the surfaces read and reflect light are visually off each other a LOT more than almost every other manufacturer. edit: a longer look DOES make it seem like just a reskin. the rear bumper has been puffed up. the side window glass looks about the same as does the diving character line. the wheel treatments are bolder. notice how they didn't show the front end. I sure hope they changed the interior.

the interior is what turned me off of getting a maxima last fall. the numbers were right and i love the hp but why does Nissan have to screw up their interiors so much?

LOL!

I really like the 06 Monte. Exterior wise anyways. I hate NASCAR but i really think the Monte is a nice distinctive offering.

I KNOW!!!! THAT'S WHAT I AM SAYING!!!!!! THROW a 10/100 on anything and they will give it a pass............! GM should try that! Instead of buyouts, match hyundais warranty!

This is not a rap on you FOG or anyone in particular, but just a general statement about our society today. I am so F'ING sick and God damned tired of all the 'movers and shakers' and hipsters and big corporate to do professionals being all picky and choosy about everything in their lives, from their cars to the whole 'needing to live in California' bit. Or Seattle. Or wherever all the chosen folks want to live. Maybe the best thing Carlos Ghosn will ever have done is to get people away from there and to somewhere maybe folks have some work ethic and focus and such. In no way do I think the automakers should cling to homogenous Detroit like a special palace, but maybe if Lincoln and Nissan are hightailed out of California, MAYBE THERE's A REASON. My annoying f'ing sister and her other half moved to California and now are so holier than thou about 'leaving for a better place'. Nice. 5 years ago you were saying you were never going to work anywhere outside of where you were then. Enjoy your tiny half a million plus one bedroom townhouse. AHHHHH, LIVING! I'm all for decentralizing some of the automakers operations, God knows they need to get out of 'Detroit think'. But I'm tired of the whole entitled executive and shakers and young hipsters culture that just think every f\/cking aspect of the United states existence should revolve around what's needed to prop up a chosen few for their grandiose self centered lifestyles. ITS TIME FOR THAT SELF CENTERED CORPORATE CULTURE BULL$h! TO END AND ITS TIME FOR THE OTHER 95% OF USA SOCIETY TO STAND UP AND STOP ACCEPTING THIS SECOND CLASS CITIZEN CRAP. I have a few words for all these jerks. Take your latte and BLOW IT OUT YOUR ASS. You want your job? Take it or leave it. You want to get on board? STFU, roll up your sleeves, and get on board. You want off, don't let the door hit you on the way out. Hey Joel, all GM has to do is wave a wad of cash in front of someone like Chris Bangle.......have fun designing your Accents and your Sonatas (that you so obviously used a 98 Ford Escort as divine inspiration for) and such. No Corvettes for your portfolio. And Eddie Wellburn is doing quite a fine job guiding GM in your absence. P.S Joel> I enjoy your work.....I see plenty of them at the Hertz I drive by every day....right next to the chinese restaurant/chinese laundry and the video rental store.

sorry. disagree. if GM or ford put out such a lifeless and incomplete 3rd world design, the press would be all over them. only because it has a 10/100 attached to it do they give it a pass. If that car had a Buick badge on it, you'd be all over it with criticism.

There is currently a crisis in ASIA. As for being short lived...not the case. The crisis is that the original members are reforming for the 25th anniversary and jettisoning the current lineup, but the band quietly has put out numerous albums (and good ones) since 92 or so with a modified lineup....of which the FIRM's (and Manfred Mann/AcDC) ex drummer Chris Slade, he actually was part of Asia for 5 years up until last summer.
