I tell you what, the A-60 and A-80 were enough to make me lose all positive preconceptions of the Autobahn that I had. The Autobahn is not particularly better than the US Interstate Systems, and often seemed to be worse.Originally posted by dannubis View PostProbably you were standing still in a traffic jam...

The new Ford Fusion is a clear step forward in styling. It feels almost European in design, giving a nod to Aston Martin up front and BMW in the back.
More significant, perhaps, the Fusion will receive a fair amount of Euro-flavored chassis tuning to match its European styling.
Rather than focusing on matching the competition (Toyota, Honda, Nissan, etc.), the automaker set its sights much higher, envisioning a Fusion with European styling elements, including and an Audi-inspired front end.
The Ford Fusion is a tough build car with European styling and sports excellent interiors

Threadjack here, but what do people think of CVTs? I really hate how my car has a substantial delay while the automatic changes gear when I hit the accelerator, would that go away with a CVT?If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

So a CVT = worse acceleration than an automatic? That doesn't really make sense, I would think that because it is continuous, the reaction time between pressing the pedal and the engine power going up would be immediate.Originally posted by Asher View PostIf there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

No good except for small engines which are lacking in torque.Originally posted by Hauldren Collider View PostTry http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

CVT's can adjust the gear ratio continuously but not arbitrarily fast.Originally posted by Hauldren Collider View PostComment

CVTs feel "laggy". The resulting acceleration is usually not different, but it's not as responsive. The idea is the RPMs are linear so while in a regular shifter, when you floor it the RPMs soar and you get that torque. In CVT it feels like it's trying to catch up.Originally posted by Hauldren Collider View Post"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate.

Get a stick
CVT is nice for regular driving, but as Asher mentioned, not as responsive, but it might be that I'm used to regular automatics, and only ever driven one CVT car... On a regular automatic, if you wanted extra torque you'd accelerate a bit for the gear to downshift, which won't happen in a cvt. The one time I was really in a hurry on my dad's Fit, I had to switch it to sport to manage what I wanted to do, but a regular automatic would have been a hassle as well.Indifference is BlissComment
