I'm with the guys above. I don't think it''s torque. A lot of really heavy equipment have CVTs. But they don't go very fast. And no spinning tires when you dump it off the line.

If there is a problem (and I'm not saying there is) it's got to do with high performance.

Just weird that the highest end high performance sedan they build doesn't have it.

The G has that 7 speed Auto in that is crazy enough. 7 Speeds!!!
