Let's assume the paddle shifters on the 722S give great feedback and allow the user to be engaged with the driving experience akin to a race car. The "side to side" thing can be eliminated so the only thing the driver can use to change gears manually is via the paddle shifters like a Ferrari. By eliminating the poor design, it will eliminate the illogical shifting experience, hence, making the overall experience more genuine. But yea...if I want to do some spirited driving in a Mercedes, I'll stick to the paddle shifters.
all paddles feels the same. they are all just a button behind the steering wheel, the gear change feels different becuz of the different transmission

the SLR is not really some special Mercedes, a lot of parts are just from the SL

and btw, the shifter's +/- is not really for spirited driving shifting, cuz it doesn't stay in full manual mode. that only works with the paddles
