Interior looks a little better ( at least from a distance in the pictures) than many recent Nissans.
I notice they are doing what the ES330 did this year.....choice of either dark or light wood trim. Nice.....but..............please tell me, though, that that is not an I-Drive-type knob above the radio.

The rear end would look a lot better IMO with square taillights instead of triangular......I have never been a fan of that look.

That car look just like the new M! Why in the world would they do that? I know the M owners can't be happy about this.

I'm not feeling it personally. Not really bad, just kinda bland. There's no feeling of excitement from looking at it. Also, the interior looks odd. Better in the last picture, but still odd.

Wow, you can get Altezzas for the Fuga. Just a matter of time before people import them here and put on their M35/45.

Back to the Teana So did Nissan use the same body for the Teana as the Fuga though mechanically, the cars are not even close?

Aren't those the same Fuga, just diff colors and wheels?

What is the Teana supposed to be/compete with?

I never got a full understanding of the Fuga/Teana thing, I just skimmed through it cause I had no care for the Teana, but correct me if I am wrong, I think the Teana plays the same role as the Maxima does here in the states. Its more or less a lower model Fuga obviously built on the same platform. I remember many people comparing the 6th gen(current gen) Maxima to the Teana. I might be wrong, but I'll look into it more.
