    Porsche measures their automatic gear changes in milliseconds. Smart measures them in geologic time scales.

    I truly don’t understand why they didn’t put a CVT in those 2nd generation cars (the ones sold in North America). It’s the perfect application! Small car, not a lot of power, efficiency minded.

      If the smart car was made today it probably would have a cvt. But an extremely budget car back then, cvts weren’t as common.
