Default Is the world coming to an end?

Honda comes out with a "automobile like transmision" a little while abo on one of their atvs and now Ford comes out with a SUV crossover with a CVT transmission. What is going on in the world?

I just thought it was a little wierd and a little funny.

The cvt's do well in cars that are relatively light weight and low on power. You wont be seeing any performance atvs with a Rincon trans, or any sports cars with a mechanical cvt. Its also noteworthy that all automotive cvt's are mechanical, not belt driven.

don't forget the Nissan Murano has a CVT also. If I remember right, they're around 240 hp.
