Replying to: heel2toe (Jun 19, 2006 10:04 am) So where does all the horsepower go? Looks like driveline losses are much less than idle time. Steve, Host |

Replying to: heel2toe (Jun 19, 2006 10:04 am) I concur. My understanding is that DSG's put the Tiptronics to shame. Last year I went back to driving a stick after 7 years of an auto. I love stick but drive into Boston every day. The stick isn't the end of the world and I don't complain about it. But I did take a little spill this past week and wasn't able to drive the stick. A DSG would've allowed me to still drive my vehicle. I'll have to see if my VW sales person will arrange a "loaner" for me to see if I like it. |

A large internet Web site is looking to interview consumers who are SUV owners. Please send an e-mail to ctalati edmunds.com no later than Tuesday June 20, 2006 by 2:00 PM PST/5:00 PM EST containing your daytime contact information and the SUV you currently drive. Thanks, Chintan Talati Corporate Communications Edmunds.com |

This was posted on the "other" site so I know blueeyes saw it. But for the others here you go. Doesn't seem like ATs are an "afterthought" to Honda. http://world.honda.com/history/challenge/1968hondamatic/text/01.html

Replying to: drive62 (Jun 20, 2006 8:42 am) http://world.honda.com/history/challenge/1968hondamatic/text/01.html This is what Mr. Honda had to say about the Automatic Honda: “With this car,” Honda said, “the driver only needs to hold the steering wheel. Even Fujisawa can drive it.” I still say, the engines are designed to be used with manual, even today. not to mention the required maximum engine speed of 8,000 rpm—twice that of a conventional engine—BW claimed they couldn’t find any AT specifications that accommodated those conditions. |

Major bummer. I know we're losing this battle, but it just seems like we have fewer and fewer choices all the time. C'MON!  -juice PS RAV4 lost the option, too. Now it's Forester and BMW X3, Grand Vitara, any others? |

Replying to: ateixeira (Jun 20, 2006 11:04 am) Should we all still be driving without power steering? Someone would probably say that's real driving too. Since some just don't want to accept the norm (at least in the US) I guess they better hang on to their manual transmission vehicles.
