It looks like a 4 door 350Z by some angles. I sat in one the Skyview is pretty useless considering it's so small. And the Exec is even more useless since it just takes up alot of space with cubbies and containers and two small heated seat switches.
It makes the car interior too cramped.

Oh, come on. I don't think I have to tell another Protege driver that there is more to a fun car than quarter-mile times. As far as cars go, BIGGER IS NOT BETTER. Whether you could actually outhandle the old one is debatable. That's a lot of bulk to be throwing around. Even if it could be done, you won't catch me behind the wheel any time soon.

Oh, his was an SE, 190 hp... which became standard on all models in 95.

So it's debateable that the '04 could handle better than the '94 (or vice versa)? Well, if it's debateable than they handle similarly.... So then a car that's faster and handles as well as the other car, does that make it a more fun car? I think so.

BTW, I know a lot about Maximas, I love them. I want to buy a 4th gen, but I doubt that will happen anytime soon

All I'm saying is that they ruined what was a good thing by following the "bigger is better" trend. And they compensate for the added size by adding bigger, more powerful engines, which only add more to the weight of the car, further throwing off the F/R weight balance. And for me, any car feeling too big when I'm behind the wheel will ruin it for me, regardless of its actual capabilities.

$34,790 after delivery /w DSC (or whatever they call it)

what do you mean DSC? do you mean the traction control or the Vehicle Dynamic Control? and sorry about "spouting my mouth off without doing my research." i was told by our inventory manager that a fully loaded would be around $32k. maybe he was wrong, big deal, shoot me!!
