I wont have one either Taka, but only because I can't afford it. Now if one
of you more wealthy $Car owners would like to contact me in about 10 years, I
might be able to afford it.  This sounds like a car I need, deserve, and by
desire alone should have, unfortunately, just like the new f1 nosed Ferrari I
can't get there on what I make and suffer thru with a slow old S4.
So sad..... but there is the used car market down the road a decade or less
from now (besides some planned VW models will make this look slow).
All the new cars are using some type of auto or paddle shift, and I dot have
a problem with it as long as it is controllable. To be honest I dread
screwing the pooch on a downshift and having to find a new tranny, clutch,
possible engine? If someone makes a way for a car to stick like glue without
puckering my butt then good for me. I kind of like the last few sentences
where they speak of the German sense of humor. I like to see them disappear
in a cloud of dust while I change the CD track. I love the tech, and I like
the way these computers can control factors I dot know exist. Maybe if I was
Scheuy I would disdain the help, as it is, I appreciate all the help I can
get.
