They've only been building the 6-speed Auto for a few years. Hasn't been a major issue that I recall.

The problem with most cars that have 8 gears or more is that they always have a hard time deciding what gear they want to be in. Fuel economy will certainly improve if your vehicle is constantly running at a lower RPM. But it will not improve if the transmission is constantly changing.

I would have no problem with them stopping at a maximum of only 7 forward gears (manual or automatic) and calling it a day. Even 6 has been quite versatile and enjoyable.
Sometimes more isn't always better LOL.

Well, a ten speed manual. A dream come true, for all the Save the Manual guys.
Makes my clutch knee hurt, just thinking about it. Shifting every 20 feet.
