I'm really glad my wife's 2015 CRV doesn't do that shit. While accelerating lightly, it just stays at a constant ~2,500 rpm. If I'm flooring it, it's at a constant ~5,000 rpm. Once I've reached my desired speed and let go, it tends to sit at about 1,500 rpm. Taking a CVT and making it act like it has discrete gears absolutely destroys all the advantages a CVT offers. In theory, a CVT is the best transmission, as it can always precisely hold the engine speed at either max fuel efficiency for cruising, or max horsepower for accelerating fast, and everywhere in between.
