Yeah... that's the way I thought of it, but with the TL and Maxima in the near-luxury class

i dont see what is more "luxury" about the maxima over the grand prix. maybe becuase nissan builds a better car, but it still performs better. and because it has a better suspension or something like that, it makes it a luxury car?

if its full-size non-luxury then it is competing with accords/camrys/taurus's and it does have the most hp.

but wait

shouldn't the grand am be compared with accord, altima, camry
those all have 4 and 6 cylinders

maxima only comes with a 6, as does the grand prix. the maxima is the highest up of usdm nissans though. i wouldn't even consider a G35 to really be a luxury car. its a sports car. but in the USDM its a luxury car because of the infiniti badge. when really its just a rebadged skyline, which as we all know is a sports car
