Again, Car & Driver reported that the 7AT does not drop 2 or more gears when requested. I've never driven the 7AT, so I have no fkin idea............but C&D's take makes me think it would suck in AutoX.

Quote: "The one negative we noted was a reluctance to crack off seamless multigear jumps. Call for a two-gear drop, and the engine briefly hangs up on the first before dropping into the second, sapping some of the joy and confidence from quick two-lane passes."
