Looks, well pretty much like you would expect

"Perhaps more worrying is the layout of the transmission's controls: you can either shift with the stick or with paddles on the wheel. But with the lever you push forwards to go up and pull back to go down, in other words the opposite to a race car 'box and, I reckon, the opposite to common sense. Try braking hard and trying a downshift and needing to pull the lever backwards as your body is being pushed forwards - it ain't natural"

Mitsubishi did the same with thing with their transmisssions like in the FTO etc. All that was required was to swap around the micro switch so that you could change gear with momentum. Wonder if a Porsche is as easy to change?...........
