“Look ma’! A dead horse! Get my bat!”

Again, a privilege, not a right. Testing should happen after a certain age. If there is such a thing as too young to drive, there damn sure is such a thing as too old. Reflexes dull over time and that is a fact, for starters.

There is no age discrimination when driving is a privilege, not a right.

The disaster known as this thread was of his own making IMO (referring to his last sentence only).

What’s hilarious is you ignoring the “EUV” and “FWD” part of most of those comparisons (on this thread) but by all means, keep crying about it. Also ignored is YOUR INITIAL comment about EV transmissions that started this in the first place. Furthermore, only Olds is making this claim here so now you are attempting to conflate that with what happened months ago. I, personally, do not agree with Olds assessment that the standard Bolt can be compared to CUVs and my initial comparison here was about the transmission and transmission alone so stop conflating the two. The EUV Bolt is another matter entirely though, for obvious reasons. Again, just more crying on your part because no one agreed with your Nissan humping act here. You also ignored empirical evidence to the contrary back then (like how not ONE sales sticker called it a CUV but in fact, a “wagon” and was never not once marketed to customers as a “CUV”) but hey, your “agenda” is the only one that matters here right?

Funny. I was just watching The Big Lebowski the other night. Love Bridges in that!

Some old Volvo wagons had that sleeper status for sure. The last really good one though was the ‘97 850 R.

(wipes a gallon of drool off his chin)

Nothing to “give up” when everyone here knows it for a fact. Just save the fake “inflammatory” non-sense.

But no downvote either thus proving the point here. Again, just step all the way off with the inflammatory non-sense after saying some of the stuff you have said here.

Seems like at least one person here proved you right but hey no explanation needed right? Yet if it was a video of a Clinton or Obama tower, you’d be upvoting it until your fingers bled thus proving the point about knee jerk reactions. Everyone else thought it was funny as hell btw so maybe the problem here is not the video, not the commentary, and not the person who shared it. There is also a certain irony here. The same person who replied with "speak Engrish" to someone whom he knows has a wife of Asian descent, complaining about "inflammatory" remarks. Step all the way off with that non-sense. Those are the facts here.

Clearly the joke flew right over your head.

And gee. It’s such a huge shock that a compact CUV sold more than a much larger, and much more expensive, mid-size CUV that spent most of its life sold along side a similar size (Explorer) CUV that got more attention from its parent company. Seriously Blu. If you’re going to try and insult me, then you are going to have to do better than that. I have never bought a car or truck based off of how many of them sold. If you want to go that route, go by yourself a Corolla or a RAV-4. They both come with your favorite transmission, after all.

Because I give two s***s about sales and whether you like my car or not (again, refer to my buying advice statement). Don’t be a salty Sally over it just because no one else wants to go down the tepid rabbit hole with you.

Fun fact: Even though I know they were all over the place, I never came across one scorpion (they seemed to be a bigger problem on the east side of the valley whereas I lived on the west side) and the only rattlesnake I came across was dead in the road already. Weird, I know lol. Oh and great post about the ignorance of others btw.

So what I am gathering form the OP is either we get: Another carryover CVT and 4 pot, like its larger sibling which has already been widely decided as being complete s***. or A hybrid, which certainly can be “no worse” than a CVT operated ICE that it will replace, but which the OP will no longer want. And he wonders why some folks would never take car buying advice from him. Thanks for the pure comedy gold, is all I have to say!

Again, karma but not really. It’s a discussion where you think the car is great while no one else does. It happens and you’ll get over it.

This! A thousand times, THIS! I believe he slammed the Tundra for this VERY reason not so long ago.

I just love the ridiculous excuses he gives. Nothing even worth the rebuttal because the hypocrisy and bed wetting attitude is obvious. Exactly. Same family of CUVs. Same issues. It changes nothing. He certainly had no problem debating it up unto the point where no longer had a reasonable counter argument. Now we are all just “ignorant”. The fact that he now trying to tout its potential as a *gasp* hybrid is even more laughable. LMAO!

So from 100 cars sold a year, to 10?

And the Rogue is a “great value” so long as you don’t add any real options to it. Below is for a FWD Rogue and you have to be swilling bong water to pay $36K for a FWD four pot with a CVT. Oh, I’m not disagreeing with your assessment but a dose of his own medicine was clearly in order here. If he wants to back a half baked foreign made product, thats on him. That doesn’t mean that everyone has to fall in lock step over it and support his gushing behavior.

Given that you have a similar habit on any thread related to EVs, I’m going to go out on a limb and say “Karma”. Oh and having a great skin (The rogues overall look) mean s*** if the bones (CVT and engine) are garbage (and don’t forget that two star passenger crash rating). https://www.motor1.com/news/489441/2021-nissan-rogue-crash-test-poor/ Oh and there is no “coolness factor” whenever a CVT is involved but you keep on touting those non-American products.

Oh good grief. I wasn’t being literal and it should have been obvious. I was just throwing a number out there. Besides, in the context of what I was talking about, it doesn’t make a difference. Still $50K plus for a truck with a generator which most folks can’t afford given the situation I was speaking of in Texas.

Thats why I only compared the FWD Rogue specs to it. I have also pointed out the price difference to David. Blu made the comment of the CVT being "no worse" than the single speed EV types which is why I brought up the Bolt since it is relatively close in size and power (19 more HP). Pay attention next time ?. "The Bolt is heavier (by 100 lbs over the FWD Rogue)"

The Bolt is heavier (by 100 lbs over the FWD Rogue) while moving it substantially quicker than the CVT trash you are propping up (with only 19 more HP). It is a completely relevant comparison when you say that the CVT is "no worse" than a single speed EV. "No worse" is proven to be a patented lie. CVTs are absolute trash when compared to literally anything else. It's that simple. Rogue pros: Much better looking than the outgoing model, much better interior and feature set. Rogue cons: Still porky and dorky, the 181 HP 4 pot can't move it worth a damn and especially with a trash CVT, and now we can add suspect crash test ratings to go along with it.
