lol really poor reason to choose AT over that but if it makes you feel better about your choice
but if you are talking about shifting speed it sounds like you aren't a MT fan to begin with. not sure there are modern day MT fans who care about shifting speeds in this era of DCTs, MT is all about feel and engagement..
they probably didn't include it because it is probably a pita if you have a drink there while you're shifting. plus, what's the point since you have 2 bottle holders in the doors and another 2 in the center console, how many drinks you need to be carrying? lol
