The Dodge Colt of the 80's had a four speed with a two speed mixer - 8 forward and 2 reverse - as an option. The engine was fair powered (for the time) and the ratios, if split-shifted, were pretty tightly spaced. It certainly made for a handful of action driving wide open and trying to catch all eight gears.
CAFE (corporate average fuel economy) may have something to do with it, but I'm placing my money on the marketing department...
