The fifth-generation transmission was the first seven-speed automatic transmission ever used on a production passenger vehicle. In all applications, this transmission is identified as the New Automatic Gearbox Generation Two, or NAG2. It initially debuted in Autumn 2003 on five different eight-cylinder models: the E500, S 430, S 500, CL 500, and SL 500. It also soon became available on many six-cylinder models. Turbocharged V12 engines, four-cylinder applications, and commercial vehicles continued to use the older Mercedes-Benz 5G-Tronic transmission for many years.

The first DCT to reach production was the Easidrive automatic transmission introduced on the 1961 Hillman Minx mid-size car. This was followed by various Eastern European tractors through the 1970s (using manual operation via a single clutch pedal), then the Porsche 962 C racing car in 1985. The first DCT of the modern era was used in the 2003 Volkswagen Golf R32. Since the late 2000s, DCTs have become increasingly widespread, and have supplanted hydraulic automatic transmissions in various models of cars.

The 1990s was a great decade for sedans. Every manufacturer had a range of sedans on sale, from small sedans to large full-size luxury sedans. The performance sedan market was huge back in the 1990s, and many top manufacturers had their performance sedans on sale.

Nowadays, there aren't too many performance sedans on sale, but in the 1990s they were very frequent. However, which 1990 performance sedans were best? Well, let's find out.
