I don't think that's a spicy take at all. My sadness with driving automatics is how poorly programmed most of them are even in sport mode. Is it asking too much to be in the right gear coming off a boring every day right turn? Like drop down a few gears as I come off the brakes?
My old TSX had gears that were too long but the programming was pretty good - it downshifted quick off the corners - while my RDX's 10 speed is just trash when it comes to being in the right gear coming off a corner b/c it ends up stepping down 4-5 gears (7 down to 2) which takes an eternity.
