Would be nice if it had a direct drive option to bypass the CVT at that ratio. Honda missed a golden opportunity.

I wonder how much gains there are to be made at the tall end.
Recent CVT innovations seem to be at the bottom end - like Toyota doing a fixed 1st gear for "conventional" feeling launches, and the JATCO CVT in the Mirage/Spark/Versa with the 2-speed sub-gearbox that shifts at low speed so the pulleys have 2 ranges.
