They reused the name.

People seem to be buying the cheaper of the two models,
so I would guess that's the incentive if any. There is more
demand than production capability.

The two models are quite opposites of one another.
The Atkinson engine is a constant speed engine. It's
coupled with a Continuously Variable Transmission,
to make the wheels go round. It's an efficiency play.
And it's possible since the CVT has been perfected.

At one time, you would shudder at the possibility of
being offered a CVT. As it did not last very long.
But someone has figured out a way to make one that
works. You should still check for field statistics to
see whether it's really all that good, before buying
something like that. It has a reputation to live down.

The other model uses an Ecoboost and a regular
transmission. That would be the vroom vroom model.

As for my opinion on transmissions, my findings are
that manual transmissions last until the vehicle is
too rusty to drive. That's if you're not doing
stock car racing with the thing. I've never
replaced a clutch plate, or a gear box, on a manual
transmission car. On the automatic transmission car
(used), the transmission failed, but I suspect it was
damaged in the shop by someone using a brake lathe.
and they neglected to do something properly. To get
a transmission for the stupid thing, required a trip
to a junk yard (no replacement stock available). My opinion
of automatic transmissions hasn't changed. Didn't like
them before I got one. Didn't like them after
I got one (two).
