How well does the new 10spd auto trans work (it should be a great transmission from what I have heard so far). !

I doubt Ford would be able to address all the issues of the S550 while keeping it affordable and offering the improved performance along with the refresh. I think this time around they might have to just settle for giving people a possibly low 12 second car that will still have the issues that are prevalent.

Driveline vibrations have been an issue with the S550. That doesn't mean that everyone will have it, but it is an issue. And it is serious enough that there are tons of complaints about it. Also the clunking in between shifts, most notably the 1>2 shift.
