Nissan Maxima Wins Ugly Interior Award
I used to like Nissan automobiles and always wanted a Nissan Maxima, that is until the designers at Nissan destroyed the interior of this once fine sports sedan.
One of the nicest things about the interior was that white with black lettering instrument panel and dials. This panel dates back to the late ’80 and had a mesmerizing effect on its drivers. I know, a friend of mine who owned a Maxima was in danger of losing his license because he had so many speeding tickets. Every time I sat in a pre 2004 Maxima I had this uncontrollable urge to stomp the gas pedal to the floor. I’m sure it was due to that instrument panel.
Then there is the console. What was once a sleek looking place for the shifter, radio and controls has been turned into a cold looking industrial, techno, lifeless monolith. Just look at the hideous piece of workmanship where you control various functions of the automobile that make your ride more pleasant. The slot where you insert your CD’s looks more like a time clock that you would be punching if you were holding down a job at a work camp in Siberia.
I want something that looks and feels comfortable, not makes me feel like a prisoner in my own vehicle.
Therefore, I bestow upon the Nissan Maxima the Ugly Interior Award.
