I think you guys dont really know what you talking about because this seems to be a kind of new type of transmission and chances are you won't really even know which gear is known, it will be that smooth. The point of it is obviously to make the car more economical while also quick. Since I am like totally not the 7 series buyer, I don't really get bothered about it at all.

Mercs have 7 gears now, but seems to be ok. who cares!
