Now the whole SMG that bmw uses and the F1 paddle shifting that Ferrari uses are true manual-paddle shifting using hydrolics to change gears....so u dont have that annoying gradual spike in an automatic when the gears switch up one. The EVO is a driver's car, and driver's more often than not will go with a traditional gate shifting gear box. I just think that paddle-shifting would be a waste of time and money. Elder folks wouldnt buy an Evo anyway, they would spend their money on something more expensive and sophisticated like an M3 or any Beemer or a Benz of some sort, anything of that caliber. I hope mitsu doesnt ruin a great car with that paddle-shift nonsence, or even worse yet, an automatic with sport-tronic.
