So the Max is still outclassed by it's younger brother - the 270 HP Altima. Ugh, Nissan.

It is as you say, Leroy. I was expecting a 3.5L producing 270HP, as seen in the Altima.

Doesn't the maxima have 265hp? Although still less than the new altima. For obvious reason though since the altima is all-new. I'd expect a new maxima or revamped engine producing at least 280hp some time soon.
