The Maxima is one of the best-engineered front-drive sporty sedans available, from the accurate, quick steering to the engine power to the remarkably good performance of the CVT. The 2010 Maxima features a low, squared-off grill, swept-back, split headlamps and an aggressively curvy rear end. Its interior clearly draws inspiration from the Infiniti M35 and M45 sedans. The new Maxima’s suspension was tuned on Germany’s vaunted Nurburgring race track. It features a 290-horsepower V6 engine and, despite a 35 horsepower increase. The 2010 Nissan Maxima is a fine performer when compared to most family sedans. MSRP Pricing range: $30,460 – $33,180. [Source: LeftLaneNews]
