If it's built to the right tolerances it will hold up great and mean MUCH faster shifting. I'm excited to see what they're going to use this for.

One of the cars mentioned is the Chevy Cruze.

I don't see this specific transmission getting that much use seeing that it is designed for low torque fwd applications and GM doesn't currently have that many vehicles that could use it.

Maybe the volt would benefit.

Darn, I was hoping for a rear wheel or all wheel drive variant, not a front drive one.
