That's how I feel. To me it's either a manual or an automatic, that's it. I really don't care what kind of automatic it is. The Tesla basically has no gears, the corolla I believe is a CVT transmission and the truck I think has a standard transmission. Makes no difference to me which one I'm driving they are all just automatics.

I remember when the MKV GTI came out. I believe this is when VW first started introducing DCT and I think they were one of the first to come out with it. Anyways they had all this hype over it and I ended up buying a DCT GTI. It was my first automatic car at that point... sold it within a year because it was still an automatic even being a DCT and having paddles and all that crap.

Now maybe is if it was a car I took to the track all the time or something like that then maybe at those levels it would matter more what kind of automatic I had.
