It's cosmetic. No one is meant to be fooled. No posturing intended or attempted.

But whatever gets you through your day...

Speaking of panties in a bunch....

Sure the G37 also has a little thing next to it called a gear indicator. You know what's special to a manual? Not having one.

Hey if covering your shifter to make it look like a manual and then using the stick to manually shift your auto gets you through your day

You should add a foot parking brake so its like you have three pedals too. Lots of cars have one not just manuals
