even though it's a conventional torque lock up convertor,it's been electronically programmed to emulate a "tiptronic" german design. i don't care 2 sh**s about the "half-as*ed" paddle shifters,as they contribute nothing for me.been a "stick" jockey for over 40 years,and just despised the "slush" in any form,until today!
love the fact,that (heaven forbid) i should just want to throw it into "drive" i can,and the car will return economy car fuel ratings,or play with the stick simulating a manual (most of the time,if not all) japanese did a outrageous job with the programming,and it is really f**king quick,AND smooth too! a very pleasant experience!..just sayin'
