I know. The reason why I dwelled on and later rejected the idea of picking up a used Glanza/Baleno CVT as a replacement for my 11year old i10 AT. Looking for its replacement since many months due to low fuel efficiency, but reliable. Keeping it reliable is by not visiting Hyundai ASS.

Toyota's early involvement in the current Baleno/Glanza development could be the reason why its equipped with an AGS instead of the Nissan CVT.
