Weird. Yeah, it's not about reading the instructions, it's about sticking with the virtually global standard.

What I really think is odd, and I haven't actually driven a CVT car, is that when they came out with CVT transmissions, they made them work in steps to make them sound more like regular transmissions so people were more comfortable. I would think that a truly CVT would be great. You floor it and the thing runs your gearing so the engine is at it's peak output, slow down and it stays at the peak efficiency. No rpm steps, just smooth transitions from one rpm to another.
