Following up on sandrat's comments, I don't own one either ... but I sell them. I've had a chance to drive the Freestyle with the CVT and was very impressed with the way it performed. Universal approval by customers too.

I've set up a test drive route for my customers and part of the drive is a "freeway ramp merge" where you get to "put your foot in it". When you hit the pedal to the floor the tach jumps immediately to peak torque and stays there! The speedometer climbs like a tach, smoothly and very quickly. One of my customers commented it surprised/scared him when it hit nearly 90 so quickly that he had to back off.

We're all pleased that there doesn't seem to be major bugs although I have heard of a few failures, but with a new production that can be expected. At this point ... if I had the money ... I'd buy one.
