Yeah, and manual transmissions are definitely
the European style, too. Most rental cars in
Germany are stick-shift!
I drove both a 5-speed manual Hummer H3
and a 6-speed manual Jeep Liberty. I prefer
the solid feel of the Hummer stick shift!
Hope they can start making lots of them before
the end of the year at least.
Most tiptronics including the BMW unit
have pretty significant and annoying latency.
I've heard that the special "DSG" 6-speed
from Audi (and now Volkswagen) is an exception
to this, and very responsive. Still,
I like having a clutch.
