I don't get the bolded part, I mean you can shift into 7th at 42MPH.

I agree, especially when you have 7 gears... It's a joke... It should be so
Slow that it's barely above idle, just so the engine doesn't sputter and die, lol


I REALLY wish our cars had a little ball, or switch behind the gas pedal, so just in case you were in tiptronic and you needed to floor it, it would automatically shift ALL the way to the lowest gear possible. Maybe put that as a feature in place of the SRM button on the sport package? (Just off hand, BMW's, my Maxima, and the Porsche's I have driven have it)
