Oh and there is no “coolness factor” whenever a CVT is involved but you keep on touting those non-American products.

LOL Chevy Bolt is NUMBER 83 on a list of cars with a percentage of US parts.

Nissan Rogue is number 89.  And there are other foreign-branded vehicles, including Nissans, WAY higher on that list than the Bolt.

Tiny, capable things like this are adorable as heck.

Fine vintage

Why does unwanted, unrelated content keep getting posted in this thread?  The 2022 Rogue Sport absolutely effing BLOWS AWAY (excuse my French) the 2022 Chevy Bolt in every category that counts.

Anxiety-free fueling

Coolness factor

I like to think of myself as Bob Barker in this scenario, with oldshurst442 being Adam Sandler.

That is not correct.

Does the loop part flex, extending and contracting the fluted tip?

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

Silly comparison, nothing to do with transmission type and everything to do with horsepower, curb weight, aero, etc.  Way to "move the bar", smk, I mean surreal.

Looks like some kind of old burner/torch tip.  Not sure.

somehow superior

??? NOWHERE did I say a CVT was better than a crappy one-speed current transfer unit in an EV.  But it is certainly NO WORSE.

Who in their right mind buys these shytty things anyway? 

Pretty sure the current Qashqai is one of, if not the best selling CUV in its class in Europe, where it is designed.  It is night and day better than the current model sold here, and even that sells pretty well.  This is a daily driver, and when put into proper perspective, this new one is a pretty nice one.

I would guess 60% of the buying public doesn't even know what an XT6 is.

Prolly closer to 95%

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

craptastic CVT.

LOL what does an EV have for a "transmission"?  A single-speed load of BS.

No. You just play one on C&G. 

There aren't any left to be played.  Statue's played every last one of them over on the "What Are You Listening To" thread.

Surreal, stop with the jealousy.  Just because I shot Statue with a zinger this time, doesn't mean I don't have more for you.  Stay tuned!

Have to say that more and more auto journalist are really taken with the new 2022 Bolt and Bolt EUV and feel this will convert many people to an EV.

LOL the only substantive difference is the lower MSRP of the base model.  Where before GM was forced to rebate the heck out of these to move a paltry number per year, now it is priced closer (still $10k too high based on real world value) to actual transaction price BEFORE dangling the carrot of ginormous rebates.  Silly.

In comparison to the FWD Rogue options, this is a better alternative IMHO.

EVERY.SINGLE.THREAD.

Surreal, c'mon man, you know it's true.  If there were a thread about wanking in here, Statue would be whacking off on a tangent about battery powered personal appliances.

I love those "diagonal test" vids over onto the YouTube, where they test 4WD/AWD effectiveness on a severe diagonal ramp test (on dry asphalt).  The Nissan Rogue was among the better systems, as illustrated.  A CUV with a "4WD/AWD Lock" button seems like they're trying harder.  GM, Hyundai/Kia, Jeep and any other OEM gets a thumbs up from me on that.

The new Tucson is a good looking CUV.

SavageGeese really likes the new Rogue.  I would get the base S in AWD, or, for the price, I could get the sportier, smaller Rogue Sport for the same money but in a higher trim level.  I would want heated seats/wheel like I have now, but I'd also like to have nav.  When nav systems first appeared widespread, I was anti, but now I think it would come in handy.

If you’re a Nissan fan, get the new Mitsubishi Outlander.

aside from Z car drivers, are there still any fans of modern Nissans?

In my line of work, I get to speak to a lot of ppl in light conversation about their cars.  There are a good number of all-Nissan families.
