Default RE: Car transmissions go hi-tech

That is true automatics make it easier. I never said that they haven't improved, I was just saying that they aren't better like they try to make it sound in fuel economy. I was also pointing out that they were wrong about the CVTs as well. If they can't do better than a AX4S/AX4N in fuel economy, then they are gas hog transmissions.

The truth is overall manuals are still faster overall, but autos are improving. Make no mistake Jeremiah, I appreciate your contribution, I just wanted to point out that their argument has holes in it.
