Its a bit odd, but im drawn to it. It would be cool to pull up to a vegas casino valet in one. biggrin

I like the idea of the sequential tranny too. Great on the twistys.

The paddle tranny is optional. The other one is crazy, I have never heard of anything like it. Listen to this.

"The manual configuration uses an I shift pattern instead of the traditional H pattern. The gears are straight cut, so that shifting can be accomplished even without using the clutch. Any increased noise from the gearbox design is damped by “Noise Killer�.

In the stick shift configuration, the gearshift is moved forward to shift up or backward to shift down. Once the gears have shifted, the gearshift jumps back to the center position. So the driver relies on the feel and an indicator on the instrument panel to determine which gear the car is in."

Sounds like a glorified motorcycle tranny. I bet that would be fun though, just slap through the gears.

I'd need to get the gear shift lever moved to the column so I could put one ass cheek in each seat, I'm sure. :(

Beyond the obvious 'there's no room', it's pretty hot.
