I don't know, I'm getting older and I like my automatic whereas I used to love the zoom zoom and noise of shifting and double clutching etc.

Aren't paddle shifters actually faster and isn't that what it's all about?

yeah, the paddle shifters are theoretically faster, but for me, I'd prefer additional driver involvement over that last nanosecond of speed.

-- Yea i understand, i drive a subaru 5 speed but my next car i want a newer auto lincoln town car. I always want to keep a manual car around. Your right on the purpose of the paddle shifter, but like i said, i'm just old fashioned, nothing like a 5 or 6 speed manual and clutch foot down, shifter in hand, paddleshifting is too toylike for me, although paddleshifting is a great concept for the race track and people that don't want to or unable to shift traditionally.
