04/09/2008 22:16. The 2009 Nissan Maxima has taken quite a sip from the fountain of youth. The exact term would be a complete overhaul, as the Japanese manufacturer's large sedan has been completely and utterly redesigned.

Some will say that's a good thing: the Maxima was aging rather quickly and didn't quite have what it takes to stand up to its rivals in the luxury sports sedan class. But now the odds are even. // Auto123
