THE fourth generation introduced a new four-speed automatic and five-speed manual transmission for V6 variants, and minor revisions to the four-cylinder's four-speed auto. Those included new gear ratios, which are claimed to reduce close to a second in the 0-100km/h burst. The revised V6 brought with it an intelligent, electronically controlled auto that eliminates the need for driver-selectable "power" and "normal" shift modes. Instead, the transmission monitors how much work the driver is giving the accelerator pedal and chooses the optimum shift strategy.
