Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Nissan also release the CVT model by model, first Altima, then Versa (a mix of CVT and AT), then Sentra in N. America?

If I am not mistaken Nissan came out with a cvt design for large size cars like the skyline and murano in jdm very early on when Honda cvt was limited to smaller lighter less powerful cars. So they have a design that work well for large powerful cars in the beginning they did not need to experiment, it is very different from hondas design. The reason they are slowly introduce it probably fuel economy reason require it.

Not sure if Nissan had only ONE CVT sharing amongst all models from Versa to Murano.
IIRC, Honda plans three ED CVT from Kei to 2.4L. (Remember, the ED CVT is said is be a new design, different from those put in current Fit. )Therefore they debuts according to when the appropriate model is FMC/MMC.
