10 years? :O whaaaaa
So what does it mean if an automatic car is in highest gear, and your foot is on the pedal such that pushing it any further will cause the car to downshift, yet the car doesn't have enough power to maintain speed with your foot in that position... I have serious doubts that the engine doesn't actually have enough power available in 5th gear. I'm guessing it's probably a compromise they strike since you want the transmission to downshift when you really do need the power, yet they're not going to try to max out (or nearly max out) engine torque in each gear before it shifts as that would be too late.
