The Nissan Maxima is a car manufactured by Nissan that is in a line of upper mid-size executive and sports sedans. The Maxima debuted in 1976 as an upscale version of the Bluebird and was spun into its own line in 1980, having been made continuously since then. Most pre-2004 Maximas were built in Oppama, Japan, until the current North American Maximas started being assembled in Smyrna, Tennessee.
The Maxima models are also known as Nissan Cefiro or Nissan Laurel in various markets.
Worldwide, the Maxima's direct competitors are Japanese models such as the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry, and Korean models like the Hyundai Sonata or Hyundai Azera, while in the US it may also compete with the Chevrolet Impala and Ford Five Hundred. In Australia, the local Mitsubishi 380 and lower-end versions of the larger Holden Commodore and Ford Falcon are also competitors.
Unlike most of the competition, which uses belts to drive the camshafts, the Maxima engine has internal chains for the twin overhead cams, eliminating the need for periodic replacement of the timing belt.

Pimp My Ride Show Summary

With the help of celebrity car enthusiast, Xzibit, and world famous aftermarket shop West Coast Customs, who has pimped out cars for Shaquille O'Neal, 50 Cent and Ludacris. Now using the customisation skills of Gas, Pimp My Ride takes a fan whose car is in serious need of an automotive makeover and transforms their bucket into a masterpiece. From custom rims and paint, to plush interiors and lowered suspensions, to the latest in lighting, car audio and video accessories - one lucky fan is getting hooked up!

The pimping begins when hip-hop impresario and host, Xzibit, pays a surprise visit to a fan and takes the viewer on an amusing tour of the fan's "diamond in the rough", pointing out some of the "problem areas". Then, it's off to Galpin Auto Sports (GAS), where the team strips the bad from the good and pimps their ride. In a matter of days, the pimping is complete and the new ride will be officially unveiled!
