I certainly hope not. CVTs lose more power than a conventional automatic, they have a lot of reliability problems, they are more expensive based on what I have read, they generally get lower fuel economy in the EPA ratings, and many other problems.

What I would like Chrysler to offer for an automatic on the new Challenger is one of those dual-clutch automatics once any bugs have been resolved. Those are more efficient than conventional automatics due to the use of clutches over a torque converter (if I'm understanding this correctly), they shift much quicker, they get better fuel economy, and from what I have read have the potential of being more reliable.
