Regarding the 718, I respect its technology and design but it's not on my shortlist of cars to own.

Funny about the Ferrari paddles being on the column. My Acura TL has a 6 speed automatic with paddles-even they rotate with the wheel. I only use them occasionally to make sure they still work, as the manual shifting mode (no paddles) in my 1999 Audi A6 tiptronic was one of the many things that failed on that car
