When looking at Nissan's lineup, almost every car uses CVT now (I'm talking automatic version of course). CVT basically eliminates gear shifting and produces smoother and more continuous power output.

Just curious, why didn't Nissan use CVT on Z?
When looking at Nissan's lineup, almost every car uses CVT now (I'm talking automatic version of course). CVT basically eliminates gear shifting and produces smoother and more continuous power output. So why did Nissan opt to go with 7-speed auto on the Z instead of CVT? Is it just for the pleasure of the auto owners to still be able to enjoy shifting and more control in gearbox? Or is the CVT gearbox not able to handle the HP and torque?
