But long story short whenever they make an auto you can shift from the factory, it is all tuned to shift when its "safe" for itself so you wont break things. Maserati FTW lol

A family member of mine owns a parking company in SF and I've been parking cars for the opera house/symphony and federal building since I was 12 years old. I still do it on occasion if I feel like waking up to get to work at 6:30 am.
The only true paddle shifters that I've parked/driven were a Maserati and the Ferrari's. The Ferrari's is responsive as hell and feels like it's waiting for you to hit the button so it can shit. It wants to be driven the way you want to drive it. If the General can get anywhere close to that feeling, I will most definately buy a paddle if it's offered. Otherwise, it's slamming (while still under warranty) second and third for me.
