While I agree with the axing the juke, I just think that the Altima and Maxima are way too similar cars, they try to market the Maxima as their 4DSC(4 door sports car) and they have the SE-r(I'm not sure if they still have it) version of the Altima which both have the same damn engine. Like this from one article "Maxima, whose base price is about $1,000 more than the topline Altima, is less than one inch longer than Altima; less than three inches wider and weighs only 201 pounds more. Maxima's engine (again, a 3.5-liter V6) packs 290 horses vs. Altima's 270."

To me it just seems like they added an unnecessary car to the bunch, the Maxima is that car, if you're looking for luxury in a Nissan you buy an Infiniti, not Nissans chubby fwd wannabe sports car.
