Then there are the non-automatics like the current batch of Mini cars.
They are paddle shifted. Once you let the clutch out to start moving you
change gears with a pair of paddle switches mounted on the dashboard
side of the steering wheel. The right paddle does the up-shifts and the
left paddle handles the downshifts. Coordination of throttle position
and clutch are handled automatically by what I imagine is some pretty
sophisticated software. Talk about shades of Formula One racers. I drove
one just to see what it was like. I imagine once one gets used to the new
arrangement it can be quite nice. Still, I prefer the automatic shift in
my current ride. Especialy w/cruise control.
