    8 speed Transmission

    Yall seen the new Lexus LS 460. It has an 8 speed auto tranny, whats up with that? The engine is the world’s first V8 to combine both port and direct fuel injection. The fuel shoots stright into the cylinder.


    Here's a link to their site for more info.

        I just saw one today while I was waiting for my car to get fitted for new shoes.

        on the stairs, she grabs my arm, says whats up,
        where you been, is something wrong?
        i try to just smile, and say everything’s fine.

              I saw the commercial for it tonight. Neat. I can't think of why 8 gears are needed in that car, however.

                I dont think I feel confortable to have the car parallel park for me cuz if it misses its mark adn ending up hittting another car I dont think the the cops would take the excuse of ' I didnt do it' it was my car.lol and Ide be the one ending up paying for the damages.

                      I would venture to say that's inaccurate. The shifting should be seamless....

                        Gas mileage and performance for the 8 speed. Plus they have been doing this tech for a while I am surprised they finally let it out.

                          imagine the internal complexity of an 8speed... i saw the commercial yesterday, thought it was semi interesting.

                          so it could drive out into space, duh.

                          something my friend mentioned while we were discussing it: what if one of the stationary cars starts moving? its not like the car is going to go into automatic evasive mode and start driving out of the way
