Bolt, Bolt EUV, and so many other better EV CUVs.  

But then you already knew that answer and were being rhetorical!

Surreal:  It was David, as ever, who dragged EV into this thread.

A multi-cultural product designed at Nissan's EUROPEAN headquarters.

Hyundai IONIQ 5.  I can see it selling in Europe, with its FIAT Strada/VW Golf/Hyundai Pony proportion and aesthetic, but will it play in America?

Now that's a sleeper.  Previous post was just... sleepy.

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.

I did not say there would not be a downvote.  Give up.

Incorrect.  There would be no upvote from me on any politically charged post.

Downvotes do not need an explanation when everyone viewing the "offending" post knows why it was downvoted.  The voting system keeps the forum neater.  Carry on.

Reactionary people

It was not necessary to even post that video, let alone with the commentary attached.  Flat out.

factual back up

This video was accompanied by a snide, non-factual commentary that was unnecessary and inflammatory.  It is the reason downvotes exist.

Now, if I smoked, I would light one up about now.

But...aside from price, whether EV or ICE, the Bolt, Rogue, Trax, KONA ICE or EV...all stack up nicely to each other to be compared.  They are NATURAL competitors.  

What's hilarious to me is this:  it was not too many munts ago, I was pointing out that gm considers the Bolt a crossover.  I was heckled up one side and down the other over it.  I even provided screen shots of gm's online order guide, showing it grouped with Chevy trucks on that gm site.  "IT'S A TALL HATCHBACK!!!" I heard it over and over again.

NOW, what do you know... when the agenda calls for it, somehow the Bolt is a NATURAL COMPETITOR to the Rogue, Trax, and Kona.  Something stinks in Norway.  And Quebec.

favorite transmission

Houston, we have a problem. 

Manual transmissions are my favorites, make no mistake.

I am not asking you to buy another Nissan, surreal.  I do know the Nissan Rogue has sold better than a certain transverse-engine, FWD/AWD Ford station wagon (which I like, btw) every model year it was sold.

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.

2022 Rogue Sport is a good looking vehicle.  I am currently afraid of Jeep because of deep-seated parts availability problems (we've had a Renegade in the shop for 6 months waiting on a wire harness that got destroyed, that is unacceptable).

Simple, if it is hybrid-only when it comes to the U.S., it will be off my list of potentials.  Nissan USA has not said what will power our version.

Meh, the difference is insignificant...two FWD/transverse 4cyl CVT mediocre appliances...same $h! ingredients, different size.  Nothing of significance...

The world (except for Bronco) is running out of RWD/4WD BOF authenticity.  Everything's going to crap if you haven't noticed, and it is going to get worse.  The original intent of the thread was to post some new product news.  Look where it is now.

Dave I didn't want to quote the whole post, there was no need.  Enjoy your day.

That's Steampunk right there.  Interesting juxtaposition between the artful grace of the original and the violent stitching of the hammered resurrection.

I know this is totally random, but it just dawned on me after seeing a silver one out on a test drive from a local dealer, the Mach-E front end with body-color "grille" reminds me of something uncircumcised with the tip pushing through.  The ones with blacked-out or otherwise contrasting color in the "grille" area don't, imho.  It is up to the reader's perspective whether that is a good or bad thing, coming from ocn ~

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. 

This WAS a thread about the 2022 Rogue Sport, which is an entirely different vehicle than the Rogue.  The fact that some of you are blurring the lines between the two shines a light on ignorance.

Also, while the new Qashqai is a mild hybrid in other markets, Nissan has NOT SAID what type of powertrain it will offer in the USA, so to ASSUME it will continue with the 2.0... when we don't know, well, that is faulty thinking.
