Wheel, which is too bad. Paddles belong on the column so that they stay put when you're turning.

I really hope they don't mount the window switches in the middle like most european cars!

Same here. I used to own a Mini and those centrally mounted door and window controls are simply counter-intuitive, requiring you to turn your head around to the center console when your head is already facing outwards to look outside or pay parking fees.

Luckily we can already spy a door-mounted window switch in the latest pic so it should be safe to say that those toggle switches must be for something else.

Does anyone else think that is a Manual Transmission they are testing with optional use of paddle shifters?

It would be great to have both just in case some drivers prefer the classic stick and won't need to sacrifice any sleep over the choice.

Plus those Seats are pretty bolstered up on the sides!

No, I would be surprised if it was anything other than a torque converter.

Since something like 90% of people in the US drive automatics, I'm sure there'd be an auto option.

That wont work unfortunatly. You can have paddles AND a manual shifter. The mechanics just dont work that way.

This is deffo the automatic being tested.
