Well, let's see. Audi offers one in the 2 wheel drive A4 and it's the only
tranny available in the A4 convertible.
Saturn had one in the Vue but I think that may have been dropped recently
in favor of a far superior Honda drivetrain.
The Mini Cooper offers one as the automatic, not available in the Cooper S
fortunately.
I believe Toyota has one in the Prius.
Honda had one a few years ago available in the Civic but I don't recall if
it's still around.
I'm not sure if I got all of them.
Personally, I think the direct shift manuals beat just about everything out
there. Only one around right now is in the Audi TT.
