Simple, because the gear ratios are very close - this car isn't supposed to be a highway cruiser. The point of the 6-spd is not lower highway RPMs, it's closer ratios so it stays at its peak HP for more time. Also, the engine doesn't have the most low-end torque, so it helps to have the engine at higher RPMs in the cruising gear.

why does the minata turn at 3 grand to go 60 mph
you would think that with 6 gears it could cruise at closer to 2 grand.. something is wrong..

Many cars that have a folding hard-top use the trunk space for storage, so not much has changed.

I truly think that this is a retractable hard-top system that should be used on more cars (the idea) because storing it that way takes up much less space than just throwing the top in the trunk. |
