After offering a Cvt Transmission as an option in it's 500 and Mercury Montego family haulers, Ford will eventually replace the transmission with a new 6 speed automatic.
While this may seem like progress, it seems a mystery why they would decide to stop offering a technology that seems to have come into its own.
Cvt's or constantly variable transmissions have languished for years being offered only in small and very austere little economy cars.
It seems like bad timing for this, as the benefits of such a technology seems to be coming front and center, Nissan now has this technology available in it's maxima near luxury sedan, and will also offer it in the upcoming 2007 Altima, and has offered it in the Nissan Murano as well. I certainly hope that there will be a major benefit to this move on their part.
