In my opinion it's just as dumb as having a 5 speed manual that still does well over 3000rpm at 60mph, when virtually all engines these days would be able to travel fine at 60 at around 2000rpm, and then people can just change down to 4th if they need some extra power.
Sound like my wife's ZX2. Even she thinks it need a higher gear on the highway.
