(Sorry about the double post, finger slipped!)
What about Continuosly Variable Transmissions? I thought I read something to the effect that applications of modern electronics in transmissions would render manuals obsolete... that CVT's could provide better performance AND gas mileage than manuals.
I mention this because Saab has a history of innovative applications of electronics (like the Trionic Engine Management System, SID). If anybody were to pursue CVT I would think it would be Saab.
