For the first time in 28 years of JD Power’s car owner survey, there is a consecutive year-over-year decline in satisfaction, with most of the ire directed toward in-car infotainment.

Yes. Faking manual/geared transmission doesn’t actually give you the power of either of those, it’s just to ease people into a new gearless car.
I prefer manual over all, but CVT fixed the issue classic automatic transmission had of limiting the power you can exert. I think if manufacturers can improve the heat problem of the CVT belts and overall reliability then it may become a new standard that even enthusiasts wouldn’t mind.
