So with the recent Honda-Nissan merger, what do you think will happen with Subaru? (self.general)

If Honda and Nissan can't survive at their size, well Subaru and Mazda are tiny by comparison.

Subaru uses CVTs as well.

The problem is people see Nissans CVTs being shit and just assume all CVTs are shit. Really Nissan just chooses to make shit CVTs and their brand suffers because of it.

Subaru puts CVTs in their cars and they're largely fine. They naturally had some teething issues initially but coincidentally that was with the torque converter side of things and not the CV side.

60k miles on my Subaru CVT and I beat the absolute shit out of it. I've towed at least 10 cords of wood with it and regularly pull a 12’ enclosured trailer with it. I'm constantly pushing its limits and thus far its managed fine.

Toyota does too have several CVT options.
