"When we first showed you the teaser photo of Nissan&amp;#039;s Sport Sedan concept, all we really knew that it had Nissan&amp;#039;s typical triangular headlights and four doors. Now that the concept has officially debuted at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, we have lot more info on what will potentially replace the current Maxima.  From most angles, the Sport Sedan Concept looks fantastic. It&amp;#039;s meant to showcase the &amp;quot;future&amp;quot; of Nissan&amp;#039;s design, and it actually looks a lot longer than it really is. In reality, it&amp;#039;s only .9-inches longer than the current Nissan Maxima from front to back. Additionally, it&amp;#039;s a full 3.5 inches shorter in height than the Maxima.   The interior looks just as good, if not better, than the exterior. The quilted white leather, flat-bottomed steering wheel, driver-focused dashboard, and the overall lines go hand-in-hand with the exterior aesthetic.  With a 3.5-liter V6 putting 300 hp to the front wheels, and the potential for Nissan&amp;#039;s honest manual as an option, it seems like the Sport Sedan concept could be a welcome upgrade from the Maxima\u2014if Nissan decides to ditch the Xtronic CVT fitted to this concept. It&amp;#039;s the major Achilles&amp;#039; heel, the soft underbelly, of an excellent concept. Build it and give drivers a manual option, and we&amp;#039;ll be happy. It&amp;#039;s the kick in the pants the Maxima needs at the top of the Nissan sedan lineup. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
