It's not REALLY an 'Autostick' in the Chrysler sense of the word... it's ACTUALLY a "Touch Shift". i.e...
You can choose to equip your Mercedes (err, Crossfire

) with the optional 5-speed driver-adaptive automatic transmission. This shifter's electronic brain adapts the shift points to your driving style, to match your mood of the moment. Also, with the automatic's Touch Shift feature, you can control downshifts and hold upshifts by tapping the lever sideways.
and it LOVES to be touched!!!
