Ford's new eight-speed automatic transmission has been engineered to further optimise fuel-efficiency and deliver responsive performance and smooth, swift
gearshifts. Tuned to meet European driving expectations, the transmission features:
A button near the
gearshift allows you to set the Dynamic Chassis Control to Comfort, Normal - both a little on the soft side for me - or Sport for a firmer ride.
GREAT DRIVE
Gearshift has smooth action and steering is light
The vehicle features a new bumper that supports a new fog lamp design and an altered grille, headlamps and daytime running LED lights that are in line with the Mission-D concept, and new taillights, steering wheel and a smaller
gearshift knob.
The AMG Sport Plus, priced Au1,000 above AMG Sport and just Au35 over the previous Sport line, includes 18-inch bi-colour AMG alloys, bi-Xenon front lights with Intelligent Light System and Adaptive High Beam Assist, AMG sports seats, Black Artico/Dinamica upholstery with contrast red stitching, red seat belts, AMG floor mats with red edging and silver
gearshift paddles (automatic transmission only).
Acting through its wholly owned subsidiary
Gearshift Merger Corp, TBC launched a tender offer for all outstanding Midas shares late in March, offering USD11.50 (EUR8.69) per unit.
In addition to the standard Start-Stop, optimum
gearshift indicator, brake energy regeneration and active aerodynamics, the 520d EfficientDynamics saloon has a longer final drive ratio to reduce engine revs at highway speeds and low-rollingresistance tyres.
Stop and Start and a
gearshift indicator also feature while the TwinAir also comes with a high level of standard spec, such as a full complement of airbags and power windows, and a raft of personalisation options like the rest of the 500 range.

The 3-litre six-cylinder twin turbo engine now has an improved zero to 62mph time of 4.8 seconds - down 0.3 seconds on the current sDrive35i - while top speed is electronically-limited to 155mph and BMW's seven-speed double clutch transmission comes as standard while
gearshift response.
Equipped as standard with BMW's intelligent xDrive all-wheel drive technology and Dynamic Performance Control, and mated to a six-speed automatic transmission with optimised
gearshift dynamics, the BMW X6 enjoys unique agility, tracking stability, precision and traction in every situation, as well as optimised fuel economy for lower emissions and maximum power and performance.
And, with a light and positive dash-mounted
gearshift, lively is how you'll feel driving what is a practical people carrier stuffed with storage space, state-of-the-art in-car DVD entertainment and five rear seats that fold to a perfect flat-bed.
