Good to know! I love a lot of their recent designs but I never paid attention to anything other than the manual trans.
I 100% agree with you that the CVT is the poster child of what never to do in the automotive world. That and those stupid "dial" shifters! Such a stupid ass design...whoever thought it was a good idea should be kicked in the nuts
