Awesome. If done right this is the future. 6-speed auto paddle shifting. I know i'll get flamed but this is the start of the end of the auto vs. manual debates. As the purists grow older all of us youngins will be wanting paddle shifting and thats the way most everything will come.
Lets hope they can get a decent response out of it though. If you have tested a F1 360 it just plain kicks ****. If chevy can get 1/2 of that feel it will be awesome

OK, that wheel is asymmetrical, bigger on the left. I don't care for it, looks cheap, even more rental than the Malibu Doughboy.

Thats what i was afriad of...................
Well someday we will get with the 21st century. So basically you are telling me this is not much different from rowing the gears on an auto from the center console??
I knew it was too good to be true
