The Kia Soul and the Kia Forte have CVTs. C-HR and Corolla use CVTs. And @ccap41, it's the Malibu that got the CVT.

I don't see a lot of them around my parts. I see this as Toyota's answer to a Kia Soul... a small CUV with no AWD and a lack of cargo room. But the Kia Soul has some interesting powertrains.

Well I had to hide most of this thread. Ya'll knock it off.

If it makes a profit, why cede that segment to the Japanese?

yes. The X and S are related and the 3 and Y are related. Given the current state of the market, I don't know why they didn't come out with the Y first and then the 3. They probably would have sold more of them.

I think I said something similar a while ago. If Ford can't make a profit on 200,000 Fusions a year, the problem isn't the Fusion.

Exactly.

I don't know... combining usually hides things. I bet the Y is combined with the 3 when it comes out.

Cool. I didn't know they did that with the backwards compatibility.

PALO ALTO, Calif., Oct. 02, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In the third quarter, we achieved record production of 96,155 vehicles and record deliveries of approximately 97,000 vehicles. Production Deliveries Subject to lease accounting Model S/X 16,318 17,400 15 % Model 3 79,837 79,600 8 % Total 96,155 97,000 In addition, we achieved record net orders in Q3 and are entering Q4 with an increase in our order backlog. As was also the case in Q2, nearly all of our Model 3 orders were received from customers who did not previously hold a reservation, solidifying the transition to generating strong organic demand. We are continuing to focus on increasing production to meet that demand. Our net income and cash flow results will be announced along with the rest of our financial performance when we announce Q3 earnings. Our delivery count should be viewed as slightly conservative, as we only count a car as delivered if it is transferred to the customer and all paperwork is correct. Final numbers could vary by up to 0.5% or more. Tesla vehicle deliveries represent only one measure of the company’s financial performance and should not be relied on as an indicator of quarterly financial results, which depend on a variety of factors, including the cost of sales, foreign exchange movements and mix of directly leased vehicles.
