+1 - I have a 2006 Maxima SE - Ive been trying to find a rattle for about 3 months - the dealers has dismantled the whole dashboard like 3 times. I am just gonna trade it in. Fustrated

I guess if $$ is not a worry I would go with the SHO because of performance

We did some benchmarking recently with the 3 cars you mention. Replace the SHO with the Lincoln and you are pretty close.

The best for overall ride and handling is the Buick. Surprise!!!!

The Ford is the most dynamically challenged car in the group. On our ride and handling course, it was BY FAR the most nervous handling car.

Now the Nissan will give you slightly better handling at the expense of ride (read firmer).

So you come down to the SHO having more HP, which may be what you are looking for vs. a really nice all around car in the Buick. I think with the Nissan you get the Maxima heritage, 4 Door Sports Car.

Equally equipped, all have verrrry nice interiors and features.

But I would rather see you in the Buick.

The Buick is very nicely equipped for a fair bit less than the Taurus. I know nothing of the Maxima.

If we are allowed to just make our own suggestions, then combine luxury and performance and get a CTS-V, although I like the G8s too.

How old are you? If your below 65 then the sho, if your over then the buick . Nissan is for everyone else.

There is a lot of interest in the new Buicks, particularly the new LaCrosse, from younger buyers. Younger is relative, but its an attractive option to people in their 30's which is still a significant drop from the average age of a Buick buyer.

The SHO is quite nice, both in looks and performance. I'm pretty sure the Buick has more creature comforts though. Either would be a fine choice.

Don't forget that the Buick warranty is also better than all the other GM warranties. More mileage.

She test drove a lincoln and said it was really nice, but the interior was ugly. She said that the Maxima was to bumpy. She is going for a LaCrosse test drive next weekend, if the dealer can keep one on the lot!

My wife friggin loves it! She is excited to order one. She says now she knows how I felt waiting for my Camaro, which made me shoot milk out of my nose.

TaylorRyanSS · 10-19-2009, 05:07 PM

LaCrosse looks best imo but the sho is nice too
