A friend of mine has a CVT v6 Altima Coupe and I have driven it some. The transmission doesn't rev high like that when you are just driving around. It is so smooth in normal driving because of the lack of shifting.

The manual shift actually shifts quicker and with less lag than I expected also. I drive an Si and personally feel that the Altima with a cvt is comparable as far as being fun to drive.
