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.

After spending seven years in Phoenix, AZ I can say, for a fact, that my blankets will dry just as quick when hung outside from May to September as they will in any dryer.

Ford has also requested dealers in Texas lend out generator equipped F-150s to help out. Anything helps because it is a bad situation there right now and not everyone can fly to Cancun to escape it or afford a $60K plus truck to power their space heaters.

Just finished listening to some “new school” rock on the old school sound.

Skip that. How about the crappy base four bangers they’ve used in their cars over the years? Point being it doesn’t matter the source of the engine. A bad engine is a bad engine.

Now now Balth. It’s only wrong when Cadillac does it.

“LOL what does an EV have for a "transmission"? A single-speed load of BS.“ You implied it and saying it’s “no worse” is the same thing as saying it’s better and I’ll say it again, the CVT is MUCH worse than anything residing inside an EV. CVTs are gutless $h! and you are delusional to think otherwise. Example of this? 2021 Nissan Rogue (and its “no worse” CVT) 0-60: 8.1 seconds 2020 Chevrolet Bolt (and its “single-speed load of BS”): 6.3 seconds No worse huh? Yeah, again check your meds.

How? You are claiming that a CVT is somehow superior to the single speed one (because electric motors don’t need multiple pseudo gears unlike an ICE) in your average EV and I gave my response. I’m thinking it may be past med check for you if you don’t understand that simple concept.

Yes because the two are somehow comparable. Torque for miles EV vs a gutless CVT. Real tough choice there.

So nice of you to come to your new loves defense. It’s sweet. Creepy but sweet.
