Correction: Diesel Maxima coming up in on automatic and perhaps a stick
Sometimes it is apt to be spot-on in its predictions; sometimes… not so much. Such is the situation in present ratings the present the approaching clean diesel engine in the Nissan Maxima could be equipped through a manual transmission only. As we reported at the time, a move desire such a are able to unquestionably limit the new diesel’s allure to the stick-averse American obtaining population, and therefore lessen sales. Fear not, slushbox fans, Motive has confirmation of an engineer at Nissan so the Maxima, a great deal in diesel form, is able to in thing be offered provided an automatic transmission as standard. Moreover, it is the shift-it-yourself gearbox which now looks a bit unlikely. As still as we enjoy the knew of rowing our own gears amid loads of diesel-supplied torque on hand, delivering the Maxima providing an automatic is undoubtedly the correct option to make.
