Purists may blanch, but as fewer and fewer cars offer manual transmissions, the more redundant the tach seems. |
|
|
Such nudges, aimed at keeping engine speeds down, suggest that the speedo and tach are not siblings, but rivals. |
|
Real estate prices should regain some of the recent losses as financing channels tach as CMBS return to the market. |
|
The car has more than enough guts to move along swiftly, and at wide-open throttle, the engine isn't too trashy despite the CVT holding the tach needle near the redline. |

If the tach is a relic, what of the volt meter and the oil pressure gauge? |
