It is cool, IMO...my girlfriend's still pissed at me for buying a car that she can't drive >:o)
Then again, that probably IS a good thing, now that I think about it ;-)

Actually, Ferrari was the first to put one in a production car. Saab offered a clutchless manual...
a few years later, but it differs by the fact that it does not offer a full automatic mode.
Alfa, BMW, and Ferrari are the only brands that I know of, offering a manual transmission, that can be shifted automatically, if the driver so chooses.
Some additional history...the first CVT in a production car was actually the Subaru Justy (not the Honda Civic, which I have often heard).
