Sorry to burst your bubble, but I think your sales person is not telling you the truth. I will not speak for your dealership, but if it is located in California chances are that it will hit around the 24th. I think that is the day that Nissan will disclose the prices for the Maxima's.
I hope I'm wrong, and best of luck.

I'm not sure what you are saying here. The is a VIN number on line, and the 24th is only a few days from now. What did the sales person say that you don't think is true?

The sales person told him the Maxima would be there on Friday. Friday being the 20th, not the 24th. I hope the Maxima got there, but if I had to bet I would say no.

I want to know also. I have seen pics on the net of the 2009 Max at a dealership, some guy put them on the web, I think the link is in one of these threads. I don't know if there were special circumstances. I thought in general that manufacturers tried to be 60 days in advance. If so, they won't be widely visible for another month.

But I'm peeping the dealers near me. If I see one first, I'll snap some pics.

Miller Nissan in Van Nuys, CA often puts aftermarket rims on their demo models, I am hoping they get one early.

I was quoted by a local dealer an expected time frame of 1-2 weeks for the Maxima, which seems to be right in line with the time frames everyone else is getting. Guess we shall see very soon, the end of June is near.

Well I didn't get a call from him and I've been busy all weekend. But since then they added 7 more to their inventory list. I'll try to go by today...

But for now here's some of my pics from Stillen:

Actually, I missed the "Friday" part when I looked back at his post - my bad! Still, that's only three working days from the 24th - no biggie. But thanks for the correction.

East Charlotte Nissan had one in the showroom Friday evening and all day Saturday. I got invited to official private unveiling on Friday night. The car was a pre-production unit, on tour to larger dealerships with Nissan's national director of dealer operations. There were about 50 people at the unveiling party.


The car was a red SV with the sport package - just like the one in jsmithsole's Stillen pics. Had VA plates on it. The car looks absolutely amazing in person... quick impressions:

Nobody is EVER going to mistake this for a Camry, Altima or anything else. Its unique, aggressive and attractive.
The exterior is dominated by its aggressive fender bulges, and to a lesser degree by the great looking oil can exhaust tips... sounded great when they started her up - not loud but with a deep bass rumble.
Unlike the impression given by some photos we've seen, the grille does not overly dominate the front end... it fits perfectly with the overall agressive appearance.
The 19" wheels looked much better in person than in pics. They would look even better if they were in the darker silver used on most Infiniti's and some Nissan's (like my '03 Titanium Edition)
I still like the unique and aggressive headlights.
I still don't like the huge chrome door handles. Sorry, but to me chrome just wreaks of cheap and garrish. Looks totally out of character with the sporty nature of the car. If the don't have a de-chromed SE or SR model by the time my '07 lease is up, I'll just have to get them painted cause they just ruin an otherwise gorgeous exterior.
The "hockey stick" over the rear doors is more like a semi-polished aluminum and is not nearly as garish and cheap looking as chrome would have been.
Interior quality is huge step up. Easily could be an Infiniti.
Front seat travel is greatly increased... first Max I have ever been in that I wasn't looking for more leg room in. In fact, it might be one of the very few cars I have ever been in where I might not put the seat all the way back. (I'm 6'1").
Despite published numbers to the contrary, there is MORE headroom than the 6G... I had 3-4" above my head in the driver's seat... when I got back into my '07, what's left of my hair was brushing the roof (both had a conventional sunroof).
Steering wheel and paddle shifters felt great in hand. Steering wheel is noticeably smaller diameter.
With the carved out seat backs, I had no problem "sitting behind myself".
Not really an issue for me, but the trunk is noticeably smaller.
A child could take a nap in the huge glove compartment. It's a huge flat shelf instead of fold-out binnacle.
They stated that cars would be available for sale at the East Charlotte dealership on June 26.

I was thinking the same thing about the finish on the wheels. But I guess they are reserving that for Infiniti's only and I guess the Z and "special" Nissans.

Dang.. I guess someone was right about Maxima pricing coming out on the 24th.;)

Apparently not ALL of the pricing - still nothing on how much the sport and/or premium packages or the technology package costs...

At least these prices are close to the 2008 SE and SL prices.

My local dealer received their first 2009 Maxima last night, and I am going to test drive it this evening at 5:00 p.m. (hopefully). I will also take a bunch of photos. I will post my comments and photos. (My perspective is from someone who drives a 2007 Maxima, and who owned a 2004 Maxima, and whose wife owned a 2002 Maxima.)
