Gated Auto Shifter??
OK, looks like the paddle shifters are a go. How about a gated auto shifter? Still can't believe that americas sports car does not come with a gated shifter but a Nissan Altima does as do many other cars that are no where near the level of performance that the Corvette is.

I expecteed a gated shifter, not the paddles. I'd like the ability to shift thru the gears like a manual but without the clutch.
If I bought the A6, I probably would never touch the paddles.
