That IS how automatics were marketed when they first became available. Funny story; I'd never owned a standard before this car, but drove a couple and knew enough about the dynamics of a standard gearbox that I felt comfortable getting one. It was a girl that practiced with me for a few hours to make me more comfortable. Granted she used to race and build Hondas, but a girl nonetheless.
