Not necessary to me. Traditional automatic transmission feels different from CVT. I'm happy Honda has decided to dump its CVT from some models. Besides, Honda now should have learned the lesson that out-sourcing doesn't mean a good choice. This new 10-speed auto tranny could be developed in house, not from ZF anymore! I wish Mazda would come out a new SkyActiv-Drive 10-speed automatic transmission like Honda!
Exactly. It's called giving customers options. Multiple transmission options(CVT/10 speed/6 speed manual), multiple engine choices(1.5T/2.0T/2.4 NA).
