I’ve driven the HR-V a bit and while I’ll admit that it was better than the Rogues and Crosstreks I’ve driven, I still can’t get used to it just staying at 2k rpm in rural/low speed driving. Not only does the sound get old, I just can’t wrap my head around the idea that lower rpm wouldn't provide better mpg 

I’ve driven CVTs from Nissan, Subaru, and Honda and have yet to be remotely impressed. I can see where it would make sense/be acceptable in a purely eco-focused scenario, but in terms of driving engagement they are the pits in my experience.

I've had cars with 4-speed autos that I would take over any CVT I've driven

I mean, not perfect, but better is better.

Oh, they offered and even more anemic 2.0L option in the first few years if I recall correctly, but the CVT is really where Nissan has lost their way in my opinion. In the Sentra? Sure, if there’s still the option of a manual. Altima? Maybe. Overall though, please just keep them out of anything that isn’t ENTIRELY…

Looks fine to me. I don't love the front end, but it's not terrible. The annoying thing to me, as with the previous generation, is that despite being one of the better looking and best sized options in its segment, it's not even worth considering for anyone who gives a damn about driving due to the single anemic…

If it were a Mazda it wouldn't pair a single anemic engine choice with a CVT.

Am I the only one that the MASSIVE c-pillar and lack of rear visibility hasn't grown on? I feel like they improved on the styling details from the previous 2 generations of hatchbacks but missed hard on the overall shape.

Lol. I’m not trying to be a smartass, but what an odd way to answer the question.

From what can be seen of the Frontier and Navara in the video, I would guess that yes, they're getting out of the half ton game and turning the Frontier into something like the old Dodge Dakota, bigger than midsize but not quite half ton. Which I'm pretty happy with, since most half tons have gotten absurdly bulky…

Don't love the angry eyes or the split bumper, but otherwise a very attractive car.

What’s interesting to me about the 2 Gran Coupe (the name of which always makes me think of 2 Live Crew) is that it's the only "4-door coupe" that I find to actually look quite good in profile, and then they managed to screw up the front in ways I can't properly comprehend.

Am I the only one that thinks it looks A LOT like the newly revised F-Type?

Seems like the dash goes really high up. Like, Jeep Wrangler high. Which is not a compliment. I like vehicles I can see out of and that don’t make me feel like a dwarf at 6'2".

I’ll just leave this here..

What dealership are you getting out of in 2 hours?!

I love that they sculpted beautifully flowing curves all over the rest of the car and then when they got to the headlights they said “Fuck it, just cut some triangles in the front.”

Tom is correct, the Outback XT is the answer. I’ve had 3 different, newer cars since I got rid of my 09 Legacy and I still miss it every day. The only thing that I ever regretted about it was that it wasn’t the wagon.

Thank God. I’m fine with a system like CarPlay or Android Auto controlling things like music and navigation, as these are things I don’t normally adjust while driving anyway (beyond volume and skipping tracks, which can be handled by safe, convenient steering wheel controls), but anything beyond that needs to be…

Yeah, the problem with that perspective is that we need these motherfuckers to pay attention so they don’t spread it to the rest of us/clog up the hospitals. The longer idiots are out there ignoring the problem the longer this thing will keep spreading like wildfire and the longer we will all feel it’s repercussions.
