No, I haven't. But one exception does not make the rule. Newer ATs are getting harder to outsmart, but the market still offers dinosaurs like the 4 speed U241E offered in the current Scion xB, 2011 Toyota Matrix, and 2010 Scion tC. The current Toyota Yaris, Toyota Corolla, Nissan Versa, Dodge Journey, Subaru Forester, Chrysler 200, Ford E-250, Ford Transit Connect, and Chevrolet Spark still have 4 speed AT options available, and I'm sure they outsell the LTZ Cruze handily.
