CVTs would be perfect for luxury cars assuming that the technology for CVTs advance to the point that they can handle double their torque range now. For a high performance sports car to be able to use a CVT, the control on it's shifting range would require a lot of manual control - which could mean that you'd practically need to relearn how to drive a manual. Speed and ratio of shifting would be infinitely variable. I don't see this happening any time soon even if CVTs were made to handle lots more torque.
