This is completely unsurprising to me. It is just like how focus groups wanted “gear shifts” on CVTs because the more efficient steady RPM was disconcerting to them. Yes it feels like delaying the inevitable but sometimes the general public needs to be gently transitioned (yes I know all of this is refuted by the success of gearbox-less EVs).

I think you might be confusing them with the other major Korean car maker Hyundai but it could have been both!

I just don’t understand how he’s shaped that way.

I feel like prices on here aren’t better than eBay.
