Quote:For 2008, the transmissions have revised final drive ratios, which let the engine turn at a lower rpm rate during highway driving and get better fuel economy

'tuned for comfort' suspension and taller gearing.. yikes.. i guess i can't knock the suspension without driving it first or at least having a more full picture of what they did with the damping rates.. but the taller gearing is pretty obvious.. that thing is going to be pretty slow...

hopefully it was only 5th gear that they lengthened, lightly modded, 4th is good for at least 180 km/h
