If the clutch was a lifetime part then yes the solution would make the most "economic" sense.

Not putting down either choice, abstract of money everyone would do the "solution" but high mileage cars and the real idea on not as much how long you will keep the car but how many miles you will actually put on it is how i view it.
With the exception of outright abuse cases, we are seeing pretty high mileage for clutch replacements, usually well over 100K and some approaching 200K. Stop and think about how many ceramic hybrids that would be before the clutch came up again. The Solution does make economic sense from that stand point...….

We are also seeing Solution cars commanding a premium at PPI/resale time for that reason alone.
