I posted something about Aero auto speed a few weeks back. The problem is the gear ratios (at least in the UK). Much too long - 4th has the car doing 180mph at peak power - not much use in real life. I did a comparison between my previous 9000 Aero auto and my new(ish) 9-5 Aero auto looking at torque at the rear wheels. It showed that between 70 and 90 the 9-5 is up to 10% down - never mind the extra weight. Made worse because at 70 the 9-5 won't kick-down (hold it in 2nd!). This just backed up what I already knew and that is that at typical freeway speeds the 9000 Aero Auto is faster.
