It's worse to me when they're oriented this way. Paddle shifters make it better, but the only way I like to shift a transmission myself if it's not a manual is using paddle shifters for a dual-clutch transmission. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[John Neff]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 24th 2008 12:40PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on In the Autoblog Garage: 2008 Pontiac G8 GT]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/24/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-pontiac-g8-gt/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/24/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-pontiac-g8-gt/</guid><description><![CDATA[Jeff, I have to agree with Poop. Forward for go and back for whoa is pretty intuitive, especially when you pull back for a preemptive kick-down.
