Tip button located on shifter?

[Ronzi]

Don't know about Sid's reasons, but I have sometimes wished that the Tip shifter had the +/- shift feature that some other cars have, in addition to the buttons on the steering wheel.
The only drawback to the buttons is that in tight corners, where you have to paddle your way around the corner, it is easy to lose contact with the buttons.
I know all the bs about downshift before you get to the corner not during it, but it would still be nice to be able to grab a downshift in manual mode on the shifter instead of the buttons.
