@madfast, thanks for the link! Informative though some parts still gives me a few uh... minutes to try to mull through and comprehend, but its fascinating how they put it together. How something that is seemingly easy to operate needs something that complicated to make it work.

Hmm... though I'm not sure how the companies manage their transmission, but wouldn't it make sense to pull information that you had on your prototype/more advanced models and place it into the upcoming gen? The research is done for the v8, but I suppose its easier said than done to convert an 8 speed to 6.

But true, from the article, the automatic transmission does seem to be a lesser concern. Yeah, I expect it to be less sporty than the IS-F, but I do hope that its more effective than a camry ~_~; Regarding the earlier talking point by moto, I would hope there would be technology transfer. Oh well, one way to find out right? Wait!

And... Aisin is the company that's most likely to develop such transmission? I'm reading through Subaru's usage of paddle-shifters, and noted that they have a 6speed CVT manual mode (but... that's not how the FR-S/BRZ would be right?). So most likely, Toyota/Aisin engineering rather than Subaru?
