All of the 3 dealers I visited when checking out and testdriving the 370Z told me how much fun the 7AT is and highly recommended it to me.
But I just imagined myself in a right turn, my hands in the 3/9 o'clock position of the wheel that is now turned 90° to the right, wanting to downshift and having to move my left hand to reach the paddle.
I love F1-like paddle auto shifting, but having the paddles fixed to the housing and not turning with the wheel on the 370Z and even on the premium GT-R is such a big no-no!
Nissan,

with those paddles!

Even my $50.- USB steering wheel for PC gaming has paddles that turn with the wheel...
