9-Speed is the New Black

The new “it thing” in transmissions is 9-speeds.

Non-car nerds: the average car has 5 or 6 speeds (gears). The idea behind adding more, is it produces better fuel economy.

As of right now, there are very few cars with a 9-speed transmission, limited to the Range Rover Evoque, Jeep Cherokee, and the Chrysler 200 (above).
