I can't remember if it's in this car or in the new 7-series BMW, but, one of them is going to have an automatic that senses lateral accelleration and will hold a gear through the corner instead of just shifting at the pre-determined shift point.

What's the conversion from 75,000 Euro to American dollars? That's an incredibly beautiful car.

Just answered my own question. According to finance.yahoo.com it's a grand total of $66,900. I'll lust from afar.

That would be the new 7 series. Pretty cool technological gadgets on that car.
