The 350Z is Nissan’s modern recreation of the legendary Z-car, with styling cues from the original 240Z of the 1970s. The 300ZX was last sold in 1996 and the 350Z coupe debuted for the 2003 model year with the Roadster joining the lineup for 2004. For 2006 the 350Z received its first update with a restyled exterior and a refined interior. For 2007, the NISMO 350Z was added to the lineup.
The Maxima is Nissan’s flagship sedan that receives a redesigned exterior, refined interior and a standard CVT transmission for 2007. The sixth-generation midsize sport sedan last received a significant redesign for the 2004 model year with new styling and an increase in performance. The Maxima originally joined the Nissan lineup for the 1981 model year as a rear-wheel-drive sedan and received a V6 engine for the first time in 1984 before the second-generation Maxima switched to a front-wheel-drive configuration. Nissan has referred to the Maxima over the years as a "4-door sports car."
The Versa is a 5-door entry-level subcompact hatchback that replaces the Sentra as the most affordable vehicle in the Nissan lineup. Built on Nissan’s “B” platform, the Versa name reflects the “versatile space” provided by the roomy interior and cargo area. Introduced as a 2007 model in 2006, a sedan version was available in late 2006.
The Sentra is Nissan’s entry-level sedan that was originally introduced in 1985. The fifth-generation Sentra offered value-conscious trims with unique style and feel, as well as performance-oriented trims. For 2007 the sixth-generation Sentra is completely designed and built on the new “C” platform featuring a longer, wider, and taller body. With looks that’s similar to the full-size Maxima on the outside, the interior is more spacious and the all-new 2.0-liter MR20DE engine has more horsepower. However the SE-R and the SE-R Spec V continues with the refined QR25DE 4-cylinder engine that produces 177 horsepower and 200 horsepower, respectively.
