Owning a Q30, a great car in every way, and now drooling unashamedly over the new QX50.

Not too keen in principle on CVT, however if it’s well designed, well … on this subject hoping it’s chain (rather than belt) driven like Subaru’s Lineartronic and has a pseudo manual mode with paddle shifters.

Hi Pat,

there are paddleshifters behind the steering wheel on the new QX50. But we have to wait over a year in europe, I hope they show it at geneve auto salon in march.
