I now have to just throw it in manual (automatically goes to 5th or 6th) at freeway speed, and then I just slowly creep around then. Rather then drives JOLT.

Exactly - I had a situation yesterday where I needed to speed up to get through a light - pressing halfway down didn't result in a real speedup but did race the engine. Not sure what happened - I guess it did downshift but I wasn't pushing hard enough to really result in a lot of acceleration. Compared to my 6MT G37S I traded in it was kind of annoying, and it's what made me realize that a button like that is needed to avoid either idling around or flooring it with little in between. Or I just need to stay in manual mode, I guess.
