The only automatic I'll buy is what Mercedes is coming out with, with F1-like paddle shifters so that it acts like a sequential.

I drove an Audi the other day with paddle shifters. Coupled with a transmission design which has two gearsets engaged at any one time (and two clutches), shifting is instant, and the traditional slush-box feel is totally gone. That's the first auto transmission I ever really liked.

It's a church thing. Bernard Cardinal Law was used in Boston and it has been this way during my long lifetime.

Exactly - it is not specific to Germany but is the correct way of referring to any Cardinal. What bugs me is how many news stories written during the papal transition failed to get it right - any number of times I've seen "Cardinal William Keeler" for example, instead of "William Cardinal Keeler".

I can understand if it's a sports car, but a minivan?

A Golf is not a minivan. Not even close.

Oops! Sorry, cancel my previous comment. I see you weren't referring to the Golf!
