that makes me mad... taking away the essence and beauty of driving a performance vehicle --- having control of the power! that's what's bothering me about the Lexus IS and Mercedes C63 AMG versus the M3. the first two have that "step-tronic" garbage where you can go back and forth from auto to manual.
i dunno i just like to use both feet and both hands to drive and control what the car is doing. the car should be an extension of the driver.
