Well that starts to matter when you need to downshift RIGHT NOW and you're not sure if the down button is still on the left or not. That's when your confused brain shoves it in Drive and throws in the towel. Fun over. Either get a manual or be happy with Drive. Wheel-mounted tapshift is lame.
Well why would you shift while turning anyway?

I'm seriously tempted to get the auto because of all the great reviews it has been getting. I just wish I could get the LS3 with it.
