Oh yeah, also, I am absolutely enjoying the hell out of my automatic transmission. Hands-down the best I've ever driven, by a lot. I can't wait to start exploring it's potential, feel how it's behavior is nuanced by the different sport modes, learn where my optimal shift points are, and everything else I possibly can about it.

Oddly enough, it emulates the operation of the only "manual transmssions" that I've ever learned to drive well...on Forza Motorsport 5...

And is just as responsive to boot.

I've seen over and over on this forum that people love manual transmissions "because racecar", which is fine. Nothing wrong with that. But I guess I would submit to you all that I love this automatic transmission, because videogame.

He's just being a brother.

No luck with alarms here, but I sound like a Porsche when I drive through the garage at work.
