Re: No more CVT?

CVT will be dropped with the reintroduction of the taurus due to the fact that it can't handle the the horsepower and torque of the 3.5L Duratec reliably.

Advantages of the CVT are that it offers slightly better fuel economy and it allows more usable torque from a standing start. Disadvantages are that it is somewhat fragile and expensive to fix if and when it breaks.
