Maybe this is coming to us before cars and trucks because we have less HP, torque and weight to deal with. The mechanical engineering behind it is brilliant IMO - :eek:

They've done that for a while, Honda, Toyota, several European car Co. It's not really shifting gears, just computer programing & oil pressure changes on the primary to give it the "feel" of shifting gears

I would not be surprised if Polaris bought this technology like they did for their front diffs. They are stuck on CVT's and this would work well for them.

same as my wife
I own 3 Subarus.
2011 Forester 4AT, wife drove, first daughter drove, now I drive it to work everyday 80 miles RT, turned 189,000 miles today.
2017 Forster CVT, for my first daughter
2018 Legacy CVT with paddles, for my second daughter

For the most part they are very trouble free vehicles.
