The CVT development is a Ford-ZF joing venture.

I think it's a risk to get any car with a Ford transmission in it.

FWIW, I think that the CVT's are being developed as a joint effort with
GM.

What does everyone think about those continuously variable
transmissions? Sound good, but how much power are those things soaking
up?  Seems like you'd be taking a risk getting the first ford product to
come with one. Jarrod C.
