190 had a toroidal CVT last year, and will have one again this year if we can get it in under weight. The hard part about the CVT is programming it, as it is a very complex system to model.
There are many other kinds of CVTs out there, from the cone/belt design (like in the Honda Civic HX), to variable geometry designs, universal joint driven (Varibox), etc.
