Arrrgh! Cars Getting Shorter...

Nov 15, 2004 1 Replies

I very much like my '98 GXE, however, I've always thought it as a "small" car. I often feel somewhat cramped inside, and wish for something bigger. I occasionally see these beautiful M45 and Q45 sedans driving around and think, wow, it would be nice to drive one of those. Well, the other day I ended parking between an older M45 and a newer Q45. Guess what, they wern't much bigger than my max. I looked up online and found the front legroom is actually shorter than in my car. Go figure! The M45 is only 4 inches longer and the Q45 is only five inches longer than my max. The legroom is slightly less on both.


98 Max 43.9"
98 M45 42.1"
04 Q45 43.6"

Ah well...


Check out a 98-00 Lexus GS400. They are a little bigger than the 4th gen Maxima, I think.
