Naalala ko that time with the 86, rev pa sya ng rev while waiting for the green light tapos naunahan ng tito car. Sabi pa ng misis ko, “Kelangan mo talaga syang pahiyain?” Hehehehe

Kia and Hyundai will also start using their own version of a CVT. Iba nga lang acronym for it.

Ford is moving back to conventional AT after the the DCT fiasco.

In fact, she is the in-car traffic cop. We drive via SLEX almost daily prior to ECQ. She keeps telling me that I owe the government a lot of money already as I usually drive over the speed limit. She starts her rant in the car the moment she sees the speedometer past 120kmh.

Going back to topic, the new Innova is not your usual soccer mom vehicle. I guess Toyota decided to put the bigger 2.8L engine on it as it is expected to be used to haul people and cargo.

This is to the dismay of new Fort owners who just have to deal with the lower output 2.4L engine in exchange for the muscular looks and style. For the TOTL Fort lang available yung 2.8L engine.

is that a question mark?
or, is it an exclamation mark that wilted due to today's heat?

It was a sarcastic question towards my driving. I like it better when she’s napping in the car than when she’s wide awake.

On a different note, she is also contemplating on an Innova to replace the ASX.

Mas mura for manufacturers.

Also something not reflected in a drag race (where both are flat out) is that a CVT will always be at its optimal powerband vs traditional AT na possible below powerband ka (less than 4k) rpm at certain speeds when you suddenly decide to gun it on the road.

But overall a traditional AT definitely feels better to drive than a CVT but for most people who just drive in the city and expressways they won't notice the difference aside from the much smoother shifts with a CVT.
