Default Re: Ford Australia’s record $10 million fine for “unconscionable conduct” over dodgy transmissions

What was supposed to be the great new thing for these troublesome tranny's anyway in deference to a more conventional transmission ?.

Sounds a bit like the four wheel steer 'innovation' of the mid to late 1990's when a few manufacturers went down that path ..

A BMW big wig was asked at the time why they weren't heading down that track in a Wheels article and he responded with (paraphrasing)

"Why complicate things when our cars handle as well as they do "

He was right as it happens . Don't think it was a big success or taken on by too many at the time or since.
