i wanted the CVT in my 500, but got the 6 speed. The CVT was smooth and efficient though. I had heard that you could get the tranny reflashed to get the CVT to kick down faster with less throttle. Programming will be very important in all CVTs.

thanks dodgefan.....this fills in a lot.

is there ANYONE who actually thinks 'smooth jazz' is REAL MUSIC? or even GOOD? IT IS THE EQUIVALENT OF HELL ON EARTH. TORTURE LIKE HAVING YOUR TESTICULARS SLOWLY BURNED OFF. For some reason I got stuck listening to something called 'Mindi Abair' tonight. Her picture was hot, so I'm like, why not? NOW......I WANT TO PULL MY EYEBALLS OUT! SMOOTH JAZZ / LITE JAZZ is the music of SATAN!!!!! My God, YANNI, ENYA, JEWEL SINGING ABOUT HER BREASTS, CHARLOTTE CHURCH, SARAH BRIGHTMAN, CELTIC WOMAN, ANYTHING BUT SMOOTH JAZZ!!!!!!!!!!!! if i came across this stuff listening in the car, I'd need to drive into the big concrete wall, just to STOP THE MADNESS!!!!!!!!! This is horrible! do they play this at 'wine bars' and 'natural foods stores'? AND THE SPA TOO I BET! ARRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

"I did NOT HAVE SExual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky"

i guess i better enroll in 'gay school' then, and get rid of all those 'boobie' pictures then?

"He said Toyota has had a long-term strategy of being accepted like an American company. "Those billboards are the culmination of 35 years of focus on being American in America," Wangers said. "They've waited until now to thump their chest."" ok, now that they are top dog...let's see if they can handle the heat that goes with it. you are now the target. let's see how badly you really wanted it.

BODY SURFING 'RIDE THE WAVE'

the exterior is decent. the interior still looks suspect, but to some degree is improved. i like the CVT and 6 speed manual choices, but some folks might still want the tradtional automatic. the VQ engine is always top notch. i would bet i could really like this car, but i wish Nissan would have done a nicer interior yet.

the NISSAN GT-R is legendary. To change the brand of that car to some pansy yuppie brand like INFINITI would be watering down the merit of the car. just like CHEVROLET CORVETTE

By AUTOMOTIVE NEWS AutoWeek | Published 04/17/06, 1:26 pm et CANTON, Miss. -- Nissan North America has begun curtailing production of its slow-selling Titan pickup at its plant here. Sales this year of the full-sized pickup were down 1.7 percent to 21,277 units through March, and the company has more than a 100-day supply. Jed Connelly, sales chief at Nissan North America, says he wants to reduce supply to under 75 days.

so we'll have a niche product like a Camaro and new GTO but no crucial small car / volume product for Saturn?

the flare/bulge of the rear fender and the angle / shape of the rear greenhouse has some of the same flow and character of the way the Bonne's rear glass and fender bulge go. The ass end is quite different but the 'pulled and bulged' look and proportion of the rear of the car has some of the same look. I have a hard time believing based upon pictures that this is an all new platform and safety structure. I will need to see wheelbase specs before I say for sure, but i bet $$$$ the floorpan is the same as is the suspension and engine bay structure. The fenders of course all look new but too similar to the existing Maxima and Altima (just puffed up). The door side glass looks damn close to almost the same, which suggests to me the crash safety cage around the passenger compartment has the same structure but maybe they were able to tweak the side glass just enough, ala BLS/9-3 to get just a vaguely different look.

there ought to be chrome or aluminum around the 3 gauges.....

it should be interesting to see if Honda knows its head from its butt regarding forced induction

if they can't afford the RDX then they will get a RAV4 or God forbid, a new Outlander.....

i am not joking here....are the front and rear bumper covers the same as the maxima? this is a very thorough RESKIN. that rear pic has a little bit of a Bonneville flavor to it in the flare over the rear wheel

my 80+ year old father in law and 65 year old dad (both LIFETIME GM diehards) were both commenting oddly enough this past weekend about 'how nice those new toyotas are'. My dad was oogling a four year old LAVALON in his parking garage, and he's got some bitter revenge against GM because it will cost him a lot to replace the four struts in his 92 yes 1992 Seville (we expect em to last forever you know). The seville with only 75,000 miles on it. When the old midwesterners start getting wood for toyota, and they start to eat trannies, i guess i would have to say maybe the times they are a changing muh friend.

"Compatible for two-channel DVD audio format" will this thing play 5.1 channel DVD-Audio? (high res)

"hey Mamma, verfingen sich sie uns auf der Kamera hochhalten ' wir lieben Sie David!', Fahne!"

wow. this dude's 'singing' really sucks ballz...... holy crap...... the guitar player dude looks like Alan Thicke 1985 and the piano player has the Kenny Rogers bit going....... Kenny – Germany's next Hasselhoff? "In my opinion, the only other man that has the power bring a diverse crowd of middle-aged locals and college students together in this town would be revered "Knight Rider" star and German music legend, David Hasselhoff. This incident is far from a paradigm shift in this city's traditional music scene, bur rather a simple a tip of the beer stein to an American icon who isn't ready to fold 'em." LONG LIVE THE GAMBLER!!!!!

"hey mom, they caught us on camera holding up the 'we love you david!' banner!"
