Seriously though...if shifting 'bumps' are a complaint of the Z, someone is overlooking many more aspects of the car that are bumpy, noisy, or uncouth. Last time I looked, the Z wasn't primarily about comfort or luxury.

My wife's altima has the CVT. I make it more fun by switching over and shifting manually with the shift lever. The 3.5 V6 Altima has some oomph but also torque steers with the FWD.

I hear ya, I just hate that they put it in the new Max. Alot of Max guys are hard core enthusiast like we are for the Max, and alot of them have the Max instead of the Z because of family reasons and have respect for the Z as well etc... They need to drop the 7spd auto into the 11 Max and leave the cvt for the Alti and lower, that would be a baaad mug!
