    This still isn't even close to as awesome as what the History Channel did: they had a show about the plague creatively titled "The Plague." Their leading sponsor was Red Lobster, which led to the best bumper ever.


    "The Plague, brought to you by Red Lobster."


    Needless to say, I can't bring myself to ever eat lobster now...

    @pres has no shooshting star: The new Maxima or the last one?


    I kinda like the new one, it's grown on me after seeing about 8 or 10 of them. I actually like the nose on it (not the weird headlights). But ever since they brought the Altima out, they've been sticking the Maxima up too high, trying to make it more than it should be. "4DSC" has become "defacto luxury sedan" over the past decade. At least this one is a good step in the smaller size/weight direction. Haven't driven one yet.

    @Ash78:


    I'm a die hard Nissan guy and think they've been going in an eerie direction with that car for the past two generations. The 4DSC moniker is more fitting of the Altima these days as it's less portly and used to come in a SE-R variant.
