And let's wait and see how they perform before condemning the powertrains. I think we are pretty confident that the gas mileage will continue to be class-leading, as they've already said there will be improvements across the board. And with the horsepower increases, and increased availability of the larger engines, power shouldn't be a problem either (provided they avoided Ford-like gross increases in weight - but with all the extra equipment added, that's going to be tough). Maybe the smoother transitions between narrower ratios will be missed without the 6-speeds, but let's drive them first, shall we?

I agree.....while James' info may not have been right on, if you look at what he said, it is real close to what has just been released. Sounds to me like he just got a lot of it jumbled up. Example, the horsepower #'s he gave us are right on.....just on different size engines.......... So while some of what he said is probably bogus, a lot of it really was right on or if not close to being true..........
