So, because of the suggestions above, I started doing a major forum reorganization. It's going to take me at least a few days to get everything into the right place as it is a very manual process. Thanks for your patience.

It's the way of the future I guess, but even the nicest of OLED screens can't compete with an actual physical set of gauges that is well done. It just won't have the depth. 2d v. 3d

Nissan's issues are further forward than the transmission.... that awful 2.4 liter 4-cylinder they have is very low on refinement. Really... give me an old Ecotech 2.4 that never had an oil change and it would be about the same as a new Nissan 2.4. The CVT is fine in the VQ powered vehicles... I actually really like it. But paired with the 2.4, it brings out the worst of that engine. The primary redeeming quality of the hybrid is that it would lower the workload of the 4-cylinder, making it more tolerable to drive.

Other diesel manufacturers followed the rules. VW didn't. VW got busted and tarnished the image of diesel as being a very dirty technology when in fact it can be clean. Why did they do this? They did this to further their quest to be the largest auto maker on the planet and save themselves $350 per car. If TDI buyers are that loyal, they certainly could have stomached an extra $350 for the emissions control equipment. I know I wouldn't even have blinked at that amount and I doubt you would have either. This was greed and hubris on VW's part....... plain and simple.
