    That's incorrect, the cm870s (this model isx) runs higher rpms. You can't run them low like a cat or your just gonna lug them down the road and lose more mpgs. I had a 2004 isx in a Volvo and a 2007 isx in a w900l, both 13 speed and both 3.55 rears and both run same rpm at 65 sits around 15. Fyi same exact engine they didn't change until later when they added regeneration.
