I rhink that is what cripple_rooster was getting at in the OP and I think that is indeed the future with regards to better FE. The tranny may be more likely to fail with more parts, but that is offset by smaller and less cylinder-ed engines. And with the reviews (read as Consumer Reports) coming back that small engines with turbos isn't really working, more gears is would be the next logical step.
