Well, there was already a Third Reich, so technically Walmart is the Fourth Reich. But I get your point:)

It could offer more range of ratios. CVT's do not go from infinity:1 to 0:1. They have a fixed range in which they can adjust. If the max is 5:1 and the minimum is .8:1, there's no getting around that just because it has infinite variability anywhere in between.
It offers a wider RANGE of ratios, not more ratios.
In Johnstown, PA, 70 miles east of Pittsburgh, we have two old pizza-huts; one is a car dealer, the other is a Mexican restaurant.
It also created the 6 million dollar man!!!
Seconded! I'm excited to see this in action. If it has a low range, especially with a diesel, it could be some fun offroad. It probably won't be doing the Rubicon anytime soon, but it could be a lot of fun in grass and gravel.
This is shaping up to be quite a little package. It's no Wrangler, but it doesn't have to be. I can't wait to hear more about the 4WD tech that squeeze inside.
I'll just come out and say it. As a Jeep purist, this little thing is fucking cool. Hell, this was my daily driver for years, and I love this thing.
Can a Nissan Leaf even reach 120mph? And didn't the ELR only just go on sale in January, 2014? I'm not arguing that there isn't occasionally bias in the car rags/blogs, but you do seem to be reaching for controversy here.
You didn't watch the video did you? I bet you feel a little stupid right now
I wasn't aware that the Leaf or an ELR could do 0-60 in 4.5 seconds and hit 120mph. A golf cart is quiet also, but it's really not the same as what we are seeing with the Model S.
Chill out...
It's Friday. One of the two of us needs to calm down.
The only reliable source in that mix, IMO, is JD Power and the VDS varies wildly from year to year.
Ram has had one major recall since 09. It was for the pinon gear and there were only a few cases of it happening. They had one other recall but it was from 2003-2012. And they admitted that 3/4 of the vehicles recalled probably didn't even have said problem (tie rods).
There is too much ambiguity in "best". Also, best what? Compact? heavy duty? half ton?
Best. Headline. Ever.
Oh wait, nevermind.
That O in the upper left corner is empty. Every time I log in and see that I will slide into a mild depression.
You...didn't actually read the article, did you? Or notice that its a repost from TodayIfoundout.com? Or check the author's byline to realize to wasn't a Gizmodo contributor. Or examine the author's CV? Or know any single fucking thing about the scientific method or rigor or how statistical samples work?
