Did you guys see how long GM stuck to it's 3800 series motors? Honda is still using it's SOHC. Direct Injection is definitely not a band-aid and takes re engineering to package it. I think this may be the last full revision of the VQ before it's replaced, I just don't think Nissan is going to leave their venerable motor die off without hitting it's pinnacle. That VQ is in the GTR destroying the confidence of rich people everywhere. I don't see mny complaints about it's application there. And the CVT's aren't going anywhere. It's not a bad option, they are more efficient, smoother, lighter, and more compact. I own an 11' Maxima and it's a fantastic vehicle. When vehicles start having more gears than our bicycles, you won't know the difference. It's all in the programming.
