And what if they never drive a manual car without it

Not what I personally would have preferred, but it is nice to see radio controls on the wheel, lol.

This clearly shows how the corporate big wigs would only let the engineers make a hardcore sports car for only so long, before the marketing folks come in and take over to fix the sales charts with more gadgetry and faux stitching. Should have seen this coming as history tends to repeat itself. There's no marked improvement in profit margin by giving us higher quality mechanical parts instead, cuz then marketing especially in North America wouldn't even know how to sell that.

Sales is essential for a successful business venture in a capitalist free market. So yeah, they will do what the think is necessary to optimize sales numbers and profit.

I don't mean to be a **** but people forget this is a mass market item. This forum is an enthusiast crowd, but a small percentage of total sales.

A shot of reality here...

Also radio controls don't add much weight we are talking like 0.1 lbs. If that. And they are nice to have. Unless it causes the wheel to become uncomfortable then what the big deal
