From operations point of view it will make sense to harmonise the transmission system across the model lineup.

1. Spreading the cost, possible discount due to increase volume
2. Increased efficiency during installation in assembly process
3. After sales support: easier to fix a system that is widely used across the lineup thus reducing the need for specific transmission training.

etc...
