    Anyone notice in that Volvo S40 commercial...

    you know, the one where the car is like in a video game, the "driver" shifts in a motion that goes from either 1st to 4th or 3rd to 6th (if it's a 6 gr trannie) and lurches backwards into the seat like it's supposed to accellerate the car faster :roll:

    that just irritates me for some reason.... i hate stupid things like that

        no i understand. same thing in the BMW films. whenever they upshift, it slams the driver.

        True, it will put it in a better part of the power band, but you'll be getting less hp/tq to the ground the higher the gear you are in.

                      The one with Alec Baldwin? If so, it was a rerun. But it was pretty damn hilarious none the less.
