I agree with 124y the sideways shifting thing is so weird. In fact it frustrates me so much when i drive my parents benz i just leave it in D, they have a e320 so i though it made this way because 99% of the ppl driving these cars wouldn't notice or care, but putting it in the SLR????

On the other hand all the other cars i have came across even the most unsporty ones that have sport shit auto utilize the logical and comfortable up down shifting maybe mercedes is doing this just to stand out but in a bad way.

btw anybody know if there is a way to get out of manual shift mode in auto benz without going to N than back to D? I couldn't seen to figure it out, ask my dad and he told me it made this way so you only try the manual shifting once and never use it again and thus not break anything
