Now even China local made cars are going to have 6-speed auto.. While our's still only using 4-speed auto... That why i told you after 10-20 years, for sure we gonna makan by China cars if we still move so slow...[/quote] If Geely didn't buy this company, they will stuck with 4-speed auto until today.. That mean they really cant develop their own 6-speed auto by themself.. big player aka Ssangyong also depending with this company also to develop 6-speed auto for Actyon... the most difficult part of developing a car was a gearbox....

Transmission are just like tyres, brakes and airconditioning units, lots of different suppliers and you can pick the best priced ones. Why doesn't proton have a six speed transmission? It's expensive to buy and 4 speed is ok (Toyota altis is 4 speed too...)[/quote] exactly.. if you put in 6 speed, and charge for it.. people will say.. why so expensive? likewise with toyota in asia.. why put in a 6 speed, when your customers will more than happily continue to buy your car in large numbers with a 4 spd. but i seriously doubt the "2nd largest transmission manufacturer" as claimed by the chinese media. or do they mean "independent" manufacturer..? GM, ZF, even mitsubishi definitely make more than 180,000 gearboxes a year. [quote comment="225113"]Hmm…why make your own transmission?
