I've lost count how many boards that story has made the rounds of.
Of course, 3 cyl doesn't necessarily mean slow. The wife's ex-Subaru Justy with the ECVT transmission would dust my '89 Cutlass Supreme V-6 with ease up 'till about 45mph. She also got ticketed in that car going 75, and said she had no idea she was buzzing along so fast! The ECVT would munch itself every 30k miles like clockwork - thank goodness for extended warranties - but it made good use of all 3 hamsters underhood. Very weird to drive, though. Stand on it from a stop and the tach swings to near redline and stays there as the transmission smoothly changes ratio as the speed builds. Handling was fun on those hard, 155-section 13 inch tires! :)
