That's because you don't understand how to do it. I want manual control over the clutching and shifting so that I can drive the car myself. It's not the transmission's innards that can get me over 50 mpg in my 29 mpg car, it's how I use them. If you automate that, it's an automatic.
It may be a more
mechanically reliable automatic, it may be a more
mechanically efficient automatic, but it's still a F$@<*^G automatic and it's making me ask
pretty please move the car instead of letting me drive it.
