It has nothing to do with bean counters and everything to do with better fuel mileage.
I purchased a new 2014 Honda Accord last October with a CVT and any reservations I had about the CVT quickly disappeared.
I just returned from a 500 mile round trip and I got 42 MPG going one way and 35 MPG going the opposite direction. Did I mention I was driving 74 to 75 MPH on the highway? Those MPG numbers are pretty close to hybrid MPG numbers and I didn't have to spend thousands of dollars more for a hybrid model.
