Who's buying an Auto w/Paddle Shifters?

^^ Sure, I'll skip buying a 370z and get a 332 hp Prius as per your advice (lol). But to let you know, I've had a 6spd manual 350, so it's not like I've never drive it before. But now I feel like it's time for a change. The rest is up to you, think whatever you want., feel free. =)

Anyway, I think I read up somewhere that there's a special mode for paddle shifters, unless they were referring to something else. I guess we'll wait and see.

I don't advocate the purchase of Prius'

Though I am sure a 332 hp Prius would be pretty fun to drive lol

It doesn't bother me that people buy automatics and I won't judge you for it, I just had to riff you guys for it.

Sitting in traffic does not allow for the use of much horsepower, thus my feelings on getting a (more) comfortable car for such uses. If I had to sit in traffic and also wanted a fun weekend car (but could only afford one vehicle) I would "suffer" the heavy traffic driving in a manual and reap the reward on the weekends at the track or back roads.

But like I said, I haven't really driven a performance biased "automatic" so I can't judge.

I meant no offense.
