Honda is still using it's SOHC.

Where? The R's are completely different than the D.

That VQ is in the GTR destroying the confidence of rich people everywhere. I don't see mny complaints about it's application there.

Probably because there isn't one.

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.

There's a fundamental materials advance that needs to happen before the cvt is a legit contender in anything performance based.

@Firehawk, wasn't bashing their performance in non sports cars.

I do hope Nissan focuses on the other important things as well. Such as transmission, braking, and steering feel. I really feel like they'll make the jump to dual clutches.
