CVTs are going to kill someone
I love my Wife's new X5, except that I still do not like the transmission selector.
In a regular automatic transmission, It is Park-Reverse-Neutral-Drive-and then options for lower "gears". All of the automatics operate like this. Maybe the direction was different, but usually, it operated from a top down (steering column) or front to back (center console style).
In the CVT, pushing the control "forward" gives you reverse, backwards gives you forward and you push a button on top for park.
What German moron came up with this design?
