Default In ten years, all Infiniti will be automatic CVT hybrids. No exceptions

I don't believe it. There is no way the G37 or whatever it will be by then, G39 maybe, go to a CVT or a hybrid for that matter.

I dunno, in theory the CVT is an incredible move towards using a cars full potential. Just imagine having your engine spin at peak power and just changing your transmission drive ratios. Maybe just call me crazy.

However I have no doubt taht car companies would completely screw with it enough to the point that it sucks.

This kind of confuses me. Infiniti doesn't sell work trucks. The only "truck" Infiniti really sells is the QX (rebadged Nissan Armada) and I expect the QX to get the ax pretty soon.
