OK, I gave the quick answer but I guess you're wondering exactly how that came about? Yeah I put the missing "D" in but a much more inventive way is the following bit of association:

How to go from the Accord Coupe to the Accord Sedan via "Sean Brother" (the hard way. the really really really hard way)

Accord Coupe

Sean Astin

Sean Bean

Mr. Bean

Coffee Bean

Beans 'N Franks

Frankincense

Frank's Place

Van's Place

Vanden plas

Jaguar Master

Jaeger Meister

Brau Meister

Saloon

Saloon Car

Sedan

I trust that all is now clear.

My rates are reasonable. I think we should start with booking 10 sessions. PM me and we can get started - there is obviously NO time to waste.

Admit it: You're just jealous of my vast, many layered and far reaching intellect.

OK, I admit it. BTW, I also treat delusions.

Now the bad — the CVT tranmission makes driving in the snow a little, I’ll say, interesting. It took me awhile to figure out why I couldn’t sense the wheels were spinning until it dawned on me what was happening. The CVT transmission was shifting to keep the engine spinning at the same speed. The result? With no audible clue that the engine is speeding up without the car moving faster, you lose that intuitive sense of when the wheels are slipping.

This is a major safety concern, sufficient to cause me to avoid purchasing the vehicle!

Note, if you really hammer it the engine will speed up, but in small cases you may miss it.

Sounds like you are saying that CVT's are no good for Canadian winters. I wonder if all other CVT's are like that. I think it would be interesting to find out.

This is the third winter I've had my CVT and have had NO problems with it.

To be fair, you also have a center differential.

Thanks muchly.

Would you believe it took me 5 seconds to think of the idea and another 10 minutes assembling the actual links and so on? It was one of those serendipitous bits of inspiration, actually. As soon as I thought of the idea, I knew it had to be done. When the muse offers, the artist must accept. Art has its price, you know.

Sounds like one just needs to adjust their winter driving a bit to make up for the CVT's unique characteristics... once you've driven one in the snow for a while, I'm sure it will be just fine.
