Default 02+ Maxima 3.5 VR's. 02+ Lincoln LS V8

Well looks like I finally convinced my wife to sell the Ext Cab truck to get us a 4 door car. I have narrowed it down to 2 choices for her to choose. What are you'll opinions on these two vehicles. Please state why one is better than the other.

Havent had any experience with the maxima but my buddies mom had an ls and it was awesome it was pretty quick and rode like it was on clouds. She didnt have any problems with at all and was a sharp looking car.

My wife has an 05 Max, the thing is really nice. Goes like hell, real smooth engine and deceptively fast.
Never rode in a Lincoln, have heard good things about them though.

I have ridden in both, but driven a few maxima's...Maxima will hold up better over time. Oh and its got some aftermarket support

MAXIMA. They are both nice as hell. My sister has a max, a good buddy has a LS, but the Max isnt a Ford, so I'd gom with it. I think its a little bigger too.

out of those two i would go with the LS. but if it were me buying a car, i think i would swing for a nice used ford festiva. nothing quite like it except the geo metro, either would do.

the maxima will have better resale value those things hold value like crazy its really up to personnal prefference I would expect the lincoln to be more comfortable I dont think you can go wrong with either one. If its a car you plan on driving into the ground I would go with the nissan
