Not to go nutzo over here or anything but if he is using a turn singal lever on the left side, then what is the lever on the right side for??? I can't imagine them having TWO levers

He's pushing it "down". I've never seen paddle shifters that push down before.

It's not like paddle shifters are that big of a deal. The A6 trans already has "manual" buttons on it in the F-150. To make them into paddle shifters all you would need to do is put some paddles on the steering wheel. It will still be an automatic transmission though. An auto with paddle shifters IS NOT a dual clutch trans with paddle shifters. A dual clutch setup is sweeeeeet! Button operated auto transmissions are a novelty.

So they go backwards and go with TWO stalks, one for turn singals and one for wipers like it is in 1980's again?? I don't think a single Ford in the lineup today has separate stalks.

My 05 has turn signals on the left and wipers on the right. Now in My F350 the are all in one on the left.

Yes, my Taurus has the "sport mode". Novelty for sure.

That would make things tough..

I was thinking of an auto since they have been doing very well for the 11-13 guys and the wife can use it... but I didnt want to be a puss and miss out on the man handling. I never tried these paddle shifters or even the ones out now I think you have some control. I think... ITs blurring the lines.. I dont know what to do.. ahhhhhhhhhh

My 2013 Explorer Sport has two. It also has the novelty paddle shifters on the steering wheel for Manual Mode.

Well I'll be... I figured since My Flex did not and the Taurus, Flex, and Explorer are on the same platform, the single stalk would carry over. I stand corrected.
